I used to think being an engineer meant learning many languages. Turns out most of them solve the same problems — the returns diminish quickly. Depth across the stack (UX, CI/CD, model internals) compounds in a way that a sixth language never will.

I think that depends on the other five languages. Learning e.g. APL or Smalltalk if you are FORTRAN - C programmer would be very mind expanding.
