>With that, it's trivial to pick up almost any tech afterwards.
The fact most of the market does not align with this at all kind of shows to me the contrast between "passionate people willing to help get stuff done" and "a brutal corporate market where everything not perfect nets you a fat zero, despite projects being way more samey and boring". The job market for juniors is absolutely brutal and it is already expanding to other levels to a point where if you mess up or don't have the "right experiences", you're still effectively a junior still according to the market. Through no fault of your own. Couple that with a "we're looking for i+1 experienced people to do i-1 work" mentality and the number of corporations which don't do this being extremely limited.
On top of that, tech also has a large "trial-and-error" part to it which most people should be willing to acknowledge. If we're not mutating upon existing solutions, we might as well just package the existing thing into an instant solution. The mutating on existing solutions is the difficult part.
