I miss the days where you could become an expert in one language and work completely offline. Things have changed so much though, with everyone expected to be "full stack" and have a working knowledge of a wide variety of constantly changing APIs. Now, having n years experience in one language no longer seems relevant. Your value comes from your ability to understand requirements and marry different pieces of technology together. I don't feel as smart having to constantly look things up.
