Nowadays that's like trying to find work as a mechanic because you know how to change a tire.

I know HTML, CSS, JS, C++, C#, PHP and Hack - and I often can't find work because the bar of competence for many programming jobs still requires knowledge of frameworks, libraries and processes that I don't have experience with, and because the freelance market is global. It can be difficult to tick all the boxes and stand out in a crowd of millions.
