It's never easier to blitz through interviews and ramp on new tech than if you've seen most/all of it before.

There is a massive personality issue at play. If you love this stuff, you don't let new stuff pass you by and end up being a specialist on the dead end. You're constantly sharpening the sword... because you love sharpening swords. Staying relevant and employable is a side-effect.
