I have used several languages professionally and written personal projects in about a dozen languages. But I'm not sure if it has helped me grow as a software engineer.

I'm mostly saying this because every company I worked for implemented similar antipatterns. It's like the human brain subconsciously leads people to make similar bad decisions regardless of the programming language.

On the other hand, learning different languages makes you more gritty. If you can troubleshoot code in half a dozen languages, chances are you can figure out the 7th.
