Thank you for this. I really like the description of an "M profile", it's a great way to put it. I also agree with your conclusion. A lot of it is contextual. Right now my team needs me to be the Rails backend dev because no one else has that skill. So although I think of myself as a generalist, I'm needed on this team for my Ruby knowledge.

I do the same. A month ago I was doing TypeScript and React because that’s what the company needed resources on.
Right now the need is backend services and then I do Go.
Doesn’t matter much to me. As long as I can deliver value 🙂
