      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

          it seems to get easier over time too, a lot of things I pick up now relate coherently to so much I already have

          this is a skill that very few people possess and it is one of the most important to have imo

          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

          so they obsessively learn about all the silly minutia of their chosen thing over the course of literally years

          this describes most working programmers making six figures thinking they're hot shit, it's frankly embarrassing

          whereas a competent generalist can outperform these sorts of people having just picked up the speciality on a lark

          I'm a 'force multiplier' in teams: I can enhance the skill sets and the results of specialists and glue them and their work together
