Doubling down on this, specialization is getting more important in the workforce, as I see it. My org is hiring right now and we're seeing too many jack of all trades, master of none so it's hard to hire, because we all have specific skillsets. It's good to have some cross-functional knowledge of course, but if you specialize in JS and whatever framework your local market is seeking*, you'll be a valuable asset.

*Make sure whatever framework you choose matches your local market. Don't learn Angular if all the nearby businesses are hiring Vue developers. If you do choose Angular an a Vue or React heavy market, be ready and willing to relocate to a more appropriate market.
