Brutally Honest IT Career
Krutika P. B.
Feb, 2026
Every year:
New frameworks
New buzzwords
New “100% job guarantee” courses
People jump constantly —
and stay beginner forever.
No depth
No mastery
No identity
Employers hire specialists or strong generalists —
not confused learners.
Choose one core stack
Master fundamentals
Add trends as extensions
Foundation > Fashion.
Trending technologies come and go.
Strong fundamentals stay.
The developer who masters:
One core language
One ecosystem
System design basics
Will outperform someone who jumps between five trends.
Career growth is not built on excitement.
It’s built on depth.
Add trends on top of mastery —
never instead of it.
In IT, clarity wins over curiosity chaos.
