Ask HN: What cool development languages/tools changed your career?
My wow moment was when I quit trying to do everything in the language I was comfortable with (PHP) and became a language agnostic engineer. Since then (2 years ago) now I can write in 3 programming language, nobody can realize that I am new at these languages and I know that I can pick a new language up now in a very short time. I had to study so much in these last 2 years but since I love engineering it was funny rather than tiring. You do what you like and they pay for it, that is perfect. Before I used to search for PHP jobs and end up in low quality companies. After forgetting about languages, removing my limitations and focusing in engineering more than stack, my career significantly improved. Actually I got a tech management job in a big American company that I'd never imagine before.
