This is something that has come up a lot in talks lately.
I'm multi-passionate too and not only in tech areas, but many other areas too.

So what I've seen is that, the larger the company, the more specialized the employees. Smaller companies have the employees fill a wider array of functions.

Going from a smaller company to a much larger specialized corporate outfit is quite an adjustment unless it's specifically structured to operate as a small company or startup.

You mentioned about having the freedom to write about a multitude of different topics without being forced into a niche. I feel this way about development work too.

The real problem solving an creativity happens way outside the lines of code that are finally written to solidify an idea. That is far more precious to me.
