> It’s dumb, and essays such as the “blub programmer” feeds into it I don't think the Blub essay is about learning a constant stream of new languages. I mean, the author of the essay doesn't seem to be constantly learning new languages. The Blub essay, whatever its flaws may be, is about people being unaware of languages and features more advanced than their tool of choice, and finding them strange. Or in other words, that it's easy to see how poorer tools are more limited than the ones you're using, but very hard to understand how better tools are better, or even acknowledge they are better at all.
