Our world requires a dangerous and increasing amount of faking it to make it. Compared to even 20 years ago, you have to pretend to know vast amounts of stuff, and pretend to possess way more varied skills, to get taken seriously. This is very dangerous.

Everybody is having to go around acting like a damn full-stack ghost in the civilization alone machine at age 19. It is ridiculous. I had like 1 skill and 0 areas of knowledge at 19. Now at 44, I have maybe 2 skills and 1 area of knowledge. I’m not a full-stack anything.

I can write. I can do some math. I understand management for tech companies well enough to help people with ut, that’s it.
I can *talk* about more, and amateurishly do a few more things well enough for my own needs, but that’s not the same thing as being useful to others.

If I put that on a resume it would look really stupid.
Maybe we need a movement towards absolutely minimalist capability/knowledge descriptions in resumes/CVs/LinkedIn... not everything can be reduced to show-over-tell GitHub commit history but we can get closer

I understand and agree what you are saying applies to most people. But you do think and write exceptionally clearly and my guess is the math is on the same level. Maybe close enough to full stack for all intents and purposes.
Like a 140 character limit for your CV perhaps?
