Excellent article, Luis. I wish all the best in Gitlab. I identified myself with all the points you brought, in special what you said about paralyzing fear and being scared with the language barrier. I've been thinking, lately, about working remotely to some company abroad of Brazil, but keep pushing myself back due to the fear of failure, in special with the language. I'm really thankful for your post.
Do you have an opinion on if it's better to have a diverse knowledge or focus in a specific technology?
Most of the time, the language barrier is in our mind because we have the bar too high. If you are upper B2 or C1, you will be great and they will love your Brazilian accent.
Let's jump in a call anytime if you want to talk in English and receive an honest feedback of your level.
Regarding knowledge, the deeper you go with a couple of techs, the better. I focus on python and ruby, that's it. We need to keep flexible and work with all the others tools, but choose a couple of them you would like to become a master. I also work with angular, vue and react, but those are not my expertise field.
