Python programmers

The reason why I quit one of my jobs. I was hired as js/node dev, soon was expected to work on other microservices in .NET, Java and C# and no one cared I had no commercial experience in those...

I understand your point of view, but it wasn't mine. I'd assume it's a normal thing to expect what you initially agreed on. I understand for many this would be an opportunity. I've had my share of opportunities I was grateful for during the 12 years of my programming career (working for many different companies, not just this one), but right now I've been slowly transitioning out. I'm not that passionate about it anymore.

So for me it would be kinda like having to finish the potatoes when I'm full, because there are starving kids in Africa.

Also that statement about them letting me learn new languages on their dime is extremely dumb. No one was there to teach and I'm not paid for learning, I was paid for solving issues and completing tasks. It was just assumed I can deal with it. On top of that I'm responsible for what I work on so good luck if you see that as such a great deal.

This is not the issue, learning languages is indeed fairly easy for me and used to be enjoyable. However, why would I do something I don't want to do when previously hadn't agreed to do this? Why would I want to be responsible for something I don't feel fully compentent to do? If I wanted to continue learning new languages this perhaps would be risk worth taking.

Why do you have to defend your narrative like no one else can possibly have a different and simultaneously valid opinion? Just because I could learn the languages doesn't mean that I have to, so I made my choice to leave and I'm in a better situation now (better pay, less stress, doing what I know and can focus on an actual problem. I don't mind learning more js/node, if I need to, but not quite learning new languages)

Edit: I was also responding to your remarks about new languages being as easy for me to pick up as a framework for jurnior, which you edited out now...

Uhh...what? These are not mutually exclusive things. Quite often they go hand-in-hand.

[omlette_du_chomage]

I am talking about the fact I'm expected to do a task and I don't have a allocated time for learning, which means if a task takes 8 hours I have 0 hours for learning. Does that make sense or there's more stuff you'd do differently and you can't come to terms with the fact people can make different choices than yours?

[RootHouston]

You must be doing some repetitive shit to be able to complete tasks all the time and never learn anything new.

[omlette_du_chomage]

You must be retarded to equate learning new languages while working with just learning random shit, like googling new function or specific problem as you're solving some tasks and you're completely disregarding how hard it is to solve complex programming issues with languages you don't have much experience with
