I don't disagree with you about the fundamentals, but my experience does not match yours.
i.e: I'm good at the fundamentals and have more than 20 years of experience, but I was hopeless job wise until I found an employer that needed an experienced fireman to save his project on fire.
Now that I have all the modern tech buzzwords in my CV, I get job offers to work with the latest fads all the time.
Before I was looking to change jobs, I thought that I was going to get good positions because of my broad knowledge and experience. Reality proved me wrong.
