Thank you for the advice! This is the most informed ramble, I have ever listened to and thank you.

There is so much to take in and it can feel a bit daunting to tackle. If I look at it this way like you did in your example. There is no doctor that knows it all. There are Allergists, Family doctors, cardiologist,dermatologist etc. No doctor is expected to know all these , so I'm guessing the same im guessing the same applies to software engineers

Absolutely! Not everyone needs to aspire to fullstack. It's totally cool to be the Java guy or the Angular guy or the Jenkins wizard or whatever. My example showed I somehow became the Jasmine guy (gal... same thing). If anything, it makes you a more easily marketable job candidate to have a focus rather than being a generalist.
