There are 1087870432 tools out there which solve more or less the same problems. In other words, the set of problems is way smaller than the set of tools to solve them.

For example, high level languages can solve the same problem. What differentiate them is often their ecosystem, like their build tools or their libraries.

In short: learning the big ideas and the common problems in a general way is better than learning all the tools.

If somebody is interested, I've a blog where I try to write about these general problems and about mature and timeless tools which don't change much anymore: thevaluable.dev
