Agree with all you say. I can pick up languages with ease, but my real value in a team is the baggage of burns I had fighting against the Java ecosystem. Some day ago one dev here had trouble getting an image parsed, and I remembered being burn by it many years prior, and indeed was an issue with the in-container initialization order of ImageIO extensions. I see this happening more and more as I grew on. As Spolsky said (but I'm sure there were others) experience is having made all the mistakes in a domain.
