I'm not sure to be honest. I know about 15-20 languages and have written at least a 500-1000 lines in each of them (most more), specialize in Python, trying to specialize in Haskell.

Did Django web development for quite a while. Now I'm working for a large company using Coldfusion (bleh), PHP, and some Python.

I frequently feel that I'm not good enough and that my knowledge is in the wrong areas though. I've learned a lot about accumulating domain knowledge and working with legacy codebases lately.

A huge blind spot I had was only passing familiarity with mysql, being used to only using ORM's. I've mostly remedied that however and it's something I feel most webdevs should know more about.

So... I can't really answer either of your questions and I'm not sure it would be economical for either of us to try and test it. However I'm open to ideas!
