Thanks for this, my life experience has told me it's better to be a generalist!
I left school and became a builders labourer and touched on many things, after I spent 3 years been a roofer which was good but repetitive.
Later I got a opportunity to move to another country, there wasn't much work as a roofer but if I started thinking of all other trades there was plenty!
Stop thinking like a roofer there is carpentry work, then there is plastering, plumbing and then I got to think about concrete and swimming pools and all the infrastructure that goes into it!
Later I moved to France and met a British builder who had brothers all specialised in their trades and very very good but like he said he can do all their jobs just they can do it that little bit better!
Because of my experience it was me hiding him on swimming pool work and sharing information back and forth was great for growing my mind, the little tricks I learned from here are invaluable.
I'm rambling the point is a jack of all trades and master of none has always been more useful to him.
I can do most things that to into a house and picking the right tool for the right job has helped me look at programming projects with a real sensible head!!
Me a specialist? Na I can work on a house, swimming pool, fix various power tools, can have a look at your car, small repairs in white goods and now getting into programming and still a clear view of everything I need to still learn.
My point again is been able to do a lot leads to more opportunities and a more open mind which leads to better knowledge sharing!!
I'll shut up now!!
