I can absolutely understand and I feel the same way. I can't understand this infatuation with stacks. They're just a tool for solving a problem. If another tool is better for solving a particular problem then you should use that. It's nothing to be obsessed with.
If you present yourself as just a bunch of TLAs you're effectively selling yourself short. Put bluntly, if you do that you're presenting yourself as a code monkey who turns other people's ideas and solutions into that nasty computer code the people who do the "real thinking" can't be bothered to deal with.
Besides, your favourite stack today might fall out of favour tomorrow. If you invested a disproportionate amount of time into learning all the intricacies of that particular stack you might have wasted a lot of time.
Being able to analyze and solve problems regardless of the toolset is a skill that likely will never fall out of favour.
- bbcbasic 10y agoBut the job ads and interviews I've seen and been to are all heavily about the stack and very little about other qualities. E.g. changing language is considered making me junior from senior and halving my salary. Only exception would be a newer tech e.g. GO where perhaps getting experienced people is tough.
