        Could you talk about this more? I'm horribly insecure about being a generalist. Is that what you're talking about?

        to me being a generalist means having ability to quickly make yourself knowledgeable and effective at arbitrary disciplines

        good specialists are useful subordinates but not much for pursuing goals on their own. academia caters to this type

        much more common are bad specialists, people who are aren't especially bright and compensate by carving out a tiny niche

        It's a shame I've only seen a handful of job ads ever that aren't for hyperspecialists.

        And hiring is rotten with job openings for hyperspecialists only. Unfortunately, upcoming programmers see the demand, and aim to supply.
