I am big on a Proof of Concept (POC) demonstration of alternative technologies, so I can get into technologies not in my original job description. Then, I have processional experience when I leave. Not a web developer? Put up some useful web services to help yourself and the group. Not a C/JAVA/PERL guy? Write some useful tools, reports, in your new language and share them around. Developers can get what they need free in the world of open source, or write a new whatever from scratch. It might be better than the original. I wrote uniq and comm in C before I discovered their names. My last uniq was better, a sort-free home-brew binary tree tool that also does aggregates:
I should add an argument to set the null string, currently hardwired for Interbase/firebird '<null>'. https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...roup-unix.html
You can get certified in the various LINUX/UNIX/Language skills, and get hired with them as 'nice to have', an edge on the competition, in a less skill-intense area than development.
