A friend of mine recently launched a small online portfolio using a drag-and-drop website builder, and while it looked nice, he quickly felt stuck with the limited design options. Every time he wanted to add a new feature, it required either upgrading to a more expensive plan or accepting a compromise. It made me think—are website builders really the best choice for people who want something unique, or do they end up limiting creativity once you move beyond basic needs?

In my view, experimenting with several languages is useful, but only if it’s done with purpose. Each programming language has its own strengths: some are great for web development, others for data science or system-level programming. That’s why exploring can give a clearer picture of where someone wants to go. At the same time, there comes a point where depth matters more than breadth. If you want to see what kinds of roles value strong language expertise, this resource might be helpful: https://www.devheaven.io/positions/javascript-developers. It highlights the demand for people who specialize, particularly in one ecosystem, and shows how that skill translates into opportunities. Personally, I think a balance of both paths works best.

What I find interesting is how this question shows up outside of programming too. For example, in music, some people focus entirely on mastering one instrument, while others try to play multiple and gain a broader perspective. Neither approach is wrong—it just depends on the person’s goals and personality. The same probably applies in tech: some thrive by going deep into one specialty, while others enjoy the flexibility of knowing different tools, even if they’re not experts in all of them.
