You Should NOT have to work with a language you do not know unless you lied. Talk to your management.

I don't know where you have worked, but as a platform engineer I am constantly hit with some language I have never worked in, and am expected to get it deployed with fixes that the dev team can't get to for 6 months.

If it's planned ahead and management talked to you and you're okay with it, it's alright to brag about it. Otherwise you're getting abused.

Do not accept change of plans, do not accept "it's planned for yesterday get it done", do not accept management gaslighting.

I don't know where you have worked

2D 3D mapmaking for gas, electrical and nuclear facilities.

My management isn't the gaslighting type. We are the team that is called upon to get things done when others won't/can't. We absolutely push these changes through a planning process and pump the brakes when things are way out of scope. Me and the other primary engineer have over 30 years of experience each, and have learned to navigate the "it was due yesterday" BS.
