> If the company embraces a "full-stack" "we're lean so everyone wears many hats" attitude, it's an overt admission that the company couldn't give two shits about what you're actually capable of doing for them, and instead only cares that you do what they happen to tell you to do right now, even if it's hilariously underutilizing you or is hilariously inappropriate for someone with your particular skills, or is using in a way that fails to address critical business needs you've identified. Another possibility is that the value of shared context and mutual learning is seen as desirable outcomes, on par with production outcomes. I'm not saying specialisation is unnecessary. But it comes with costs of its own, so some overhead from wasting the specialist's time is worth it.
