isn't it said "specialize"? doesn't this make us "jack of all trades"?

Nope. Specialisation vs generalisation is a bit of a debate in the software world. More here softskills.audio/2016/08/29/episod...

Currently, I'm on the generalise side (note, this list excludes things like game dev, embedded... so its not that general)

I've listened to the podcast, seems like there is no right answer for the the question, and it is slightly inclined to generalism...

Exactly :) Pick one.
