Even having more specializations you will still have that one single thing you love and excel and spend most of your time. Maybe pyramid shape?

Go deeper on that analogy. I'd love to see details.

Yes, you'll spend a lot of time in a few key areas, and these areas will likely change over time.

Yes, you'll love some areas more than others, perhaps disproportionately to the time you spend on them. I'm definitely this way with desktop app development.

Tell me more about the pyramid shape. I'm curious.
