My reading comprehension is bad then because that's a very confusing sentence.
- There are lots of full stack devs that would rather learn scala than a kafka wrapper. In fact, I would say it's more likely because a full-stack dev is inclined to be more flexible and learn different tools.
- Not really sure that kafka and scala are one-to-one comparisons
- I am also not sure which one "which will do nothing for her career prospects" refers to. Is learning a wrapper for kafka useless, or is learning scala useless in that quote?
