Nice article, getting specialized knowledge is definitely useful!

However, though specialization is good, make sure not to get locked into only doing the thing you're specialized in, so that you get to improve and learn other skills.

And though it's nice to stand out, passing on knowledge on how to do something might be worth considering, so others can work without having to wait for you, or to prevent the project from going awry if you ever go sick during an important phase.

Agree. If done correctly, you should find yourself mastering one thing and then moving onto something else or finding some other gap in your business, etc.
