"I am aware that innovation sometimes forces you out of your comfort zone. But for me as a developer at heart this is what motivates me and keeps me sharp and motivated. I need the challenge of learning new things and I’m always eager to learn and keeping up with new trends."

This paragraph resonates so much with me. I recently watched a panel where leaders of tech companies where asked about what they look for in new hires. And what stood out is that proficiency in specific frameworks (or lack thereof) is trumped by the ability to be adaptable to change and a joy of learning. If the candidate's resume showed that they took on projects in different frameworks, and the candidate can speak to how they continue their learning (whether it's books, or e-courses, or podcasts, or whatever) - this is the winning trait.
