I know this is a bit off topic, but I'm curious what stack you're using for your blog. I like the minimalism of it, and I've been looking for a lower-effort way to maintain something like that. RE: your actual post, I've also personally noticed this, and a similar concept that when you reveal that the bulk of your experience is on a "dinosaur" language, you are automatically lumped into the set of less competent programmers. It pretty explicitly informed my choice of programming language for interviews. Fortunately, I've found that there's a fairly direct correlation between people you would want to work with and learn from and how much this signalling affects them. Many of the programmers I respect most openly don't care what your language background is, just that you can wrestle your tech stack into good software. That's been my experience too: the good ones can ship great software on pretty much any (reasonable) stack. The okay ones ship okay software on pretty much any stack.
