I went from a Spring Boot house to a more modern Golang/Typescript based company relatively easily. If you can pass the tech interview in your 'new' language then you're good enough so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Most job ads are written by recruiters rather than the folk actually doing the work.

Thanks, that's encouraging.

In your experience how valid do you think the idea that tech stacks and their environments influence workplace culture? Go culture seems to discourage over-abstraction, but how much of that comes through in practice?

I like how Spring Boot seems to steer you towards the simple functions operating on structs approach, but then when I look at a real project people seem to fight that paradigm at every turn.
