Absolutely, but for non-experimental stacks good practices are well understood and are easy to pick up, especially if you don't focus your career on the one true stack.
For 99% of the projects you don't need to know any stack at level 80. You're much better off having a more diverse experience. Most skills beyond intermediate level – defensive coding, good architecture, managing complexity, etc. – translate very well to other stacks.
- cweagans 11y agoThat's a valid way to look at things, but I take a different approach. I try to avoid easy projects as much as I can with my preferred tech, because it forces me to grow as a developer. I have a relatively diverse skillset which I can grow outward or upward if I need to, but I also have deep knowledge of 2-3 technologies that really pay the bills.
