Those are discipline differences. At least I am getting the JS to TS (or tSQL to pgSQL or something) from this reference.

Yeah, I'd parse the article as saying, for example, job postings for React roles shouldn't specifically require years of experience with React. This is because Vue knowledge is highly transferable.

There's an insulting premise in such job postings that engineers are incapable of learning anything new.

When I hire a painter, I don't ask how many years experience they have with pink paint (as opposed to say white or magnolia).
