Thanks for your reply! I have read The Great Divide by Chris Coyier, and it's a great in-depth look at these issues.
I wanted to get the Dev.to community's thoughts, discussion, and experiences on this as it is all so varied.
From my experience (and I'd hope it's the same for others), it's not as big an issue when you've been with a company for a while and they respect you, listen to you, and can recognise where your skills are and how to get the best from you. But I'd imagine, and I might be wrong of course, that it would be a bit of a nightmare for a junior dev right now who isn't quite as sure of what they are capable of yet. Trying to find work with such a variable job spec.
I think the best companies can do for now is be more up front about what they actually require you for when recruiting, and what specific skills are key to the role.
