What's not emphasized in the article is that these days nobody wants generalists anymore. Companies don't even want front-end/back-end devs. They are specifically looking for React/Angular/Vue; or "GraphQL proficiency"; or Spring/Django/Node/etc.
On the one hand, recruiters spam you with emails without a single mentioning of any language stack. At the other end of the spectrum - "at least 10 years of experience working with X is a must".
It makes it difficult for experienced developers to hop from one language stack to another. And then we see comments on HN like "I love Clojure/Rust/Haskell/Julia/Elm/etc., but I'm getting paid to write ... in something else"
