In this episode, we examine how mastering multiple programming languages is a huge advantage in today’s rapidly evolving tech environment. Jany Koščo, Senior Staff Engineer at Productboard, explains that as a generalist not only can you better solve coding problems and meet customer needs, but you will also have more opportunities to advance your career.

Jany shares his approach to tackling new languages and why it’s more important to have a thorough understanding of the complexities of the ecosystem you’re working in rather than the language itself. We also discuss Productboard’s code base and why we are working with two main tech stacks – Ruby on Rails and Kotlin/Spring Boot.
Jany, who went from IC to management before returning to the IC track and incorporating the best of both roles in his current position, talks about how being able to move seamlessly between multiple languages allows him to do his job more effectively.
