Huh, interesting take, I like it, and thank you for the read!

I think I agree with you to an extent, I will say this: Having OS knowledge of Linux, understanding how networking works, and understanding the difference between templating languages allowed me to progress(both in salary and levels) a lot faster than folks coming out of framework-oriented bootcamps.

On the other hand, you're right, if you want to get stuck in the industry fast, i think you're right. But I think you should have metered expectations if you choose not to progress in learning after that.
