There is nothing I have no interest in learning, and I would suggest anyone with that attitude reconsider that position.

I'm a senior software engineer, have managed a team before, have literally taken servers in a company that was failing and reworked everything to make the company profitable again and helped the owner sell it as their tech representative, seen and helped manage a few buyouts, have done software engineer and dev ops positions, front end, back end, networking, security, etc. Pretty much full stack developer that has worked at Amazon and Booz Allen Hamilton, multi-nationals that didn't start in the US, startups, you name it.

There is nothing I have learned in my career that I regretted learning that down the road I didn't need.

You really should learn all of the things mentioned, especially if it's something you can learn to advance what you can do at your job. There isn't something I've come across that I didn't at least dabble in and research when I came across it, I would suggest even if you don't have the time to really delve into it, at least get marginally proficient enough to know what it is.

If you come across it, odds are you will again in my experience.

Just my advice, I've been in the industry for over 10 years and academia in paid positions at least 5 before that.
