It's hard for me to think someone is a very good developer if they don't at least know basics around multiple areas in development.

To me it's like being a chef that only makes cake, or worse, a chef that only makes one kind of cake.

Agree on it, I believe one has to draw from certain fundamentals or multiple mental models to allow yourself to become a better developer.

Which is not limited to just technical skills in the latest technology to become a better developer.

It could be from writing to demonstrate clear thinking to psychology that encourages user behaviours or philosophy which teaches us on how we should build software that is ethically sounded.

Ah! It was just few years ago, when just knowing php and jQuery was more than enough. Now you have to be superman just to be the average one.

That's so true lol. Things have become more complicated, but often it's because the demands are for more complicated use cases.
