Uh, no. I don't switch platforms on a whim, because I like to deliver value to my users and tackling problems that actually matter. If I'm constantly switching to a "better" platform, that's all I'm doing. And in the process I'm wasting time learning the new platforms and getting marginal returns, most of the time. Smart bosses will see right through that, sooner or later, and there goes your employability in your current job. If, on the other hand, you're inteersted in job hopping every time you learn a new platform, all the power to you. Just make damn sure you don't jump on the wrong bandwagon.

Good or smart bosses might see through that, but how many of those are there? Who even takes time these days in hiring to look at references an applicant provides? For example I have some 30 project repos and a few of them are great displays of skill. So far in no interview anyone has ever given any indication have having had as much as a cursory glance at what I created in my free time. Things more difficult to understand conceptually, than any work task I have had. Things neater and cleaner than any work code. Things showing advanced understanding of programming concepts, that can be helpful in many places. Whole applications. And yet ... I get put into whiteboard coding interviews, that are completely removed from reality.
