I think the focus on particular technologies is wrong. Better to focus on a sector and become a master of that sector than of a particular technology.

If I could go back 20 years I would stop myself from jumping between jobs while staying inside a tech stack. Instead I would tell myself to jump between jobs inside a specific sector, regardless of the tech stack.

I’ve reached that stage now, where I’m focusing much more on domain knowledge and don’t care so much about the languages used. Languages are easy, but in some sectors domain knowledge and the ability to write code can be hard to come by.

Being this sort of developer, your value rises the longer you’re in that sector. The more in-depth your domain knowledge, coupled with the ability to translate that into solutions and code, becomes incredibly valuable.

By sectors, I mean: fintech, healthcare, security, etc. Not startups.
