Hi,I've made a commitment recently to focus all my efforts into one stack/technology with the goal of getting to a "professional" level. I've been coding for a while but they've all been "toy" mvp type projects.I'm trying to bridge that gap between hobbyist and getting paid. I'm finishing up a personal app with Postgres, Express, and now I'm working on the Angular part.First of all, I Hope JS was a good choice. I figured if Node.js falls out of favor, JavaScript itself is big and I should be able to find plenty of work with JS, front/back or full stack.To the real question: As a freelancer, my assumption is that a more broad set of skills will be required, generally speaking. I'm sure it depends on the size of company I work for, but typically, you think it'd be better to focus all my attention on one piece of the stack like the DB OR Angular OR Express? Or would it be better to be less skilled with each one, but be familiar with all of them?That's sort of another reason I like the idea of the MEAN stack, since it's javascript everywhere I feel like it's less expensive to switch from front to backend. Angular and Node are both JS so it's "easier".I'm just wondering if I'm approaching this the right way. I'm kinda nervous about trying to find work before I've thoroughly checked out Angular and applied it to my own project.er.. and unit tests... I need to figure that out. My personal project just needs Angular and Unit testing.I know it's not even really a question, just looking to see what the node.js community thinks.
