I refute this. I like to put my job in perspective. Astronauts must be skilled pilots, engineers, and have at least some medical training. Doctors have to be able to diagnose hundreds of different ailments. Lawyers memorize books of laws.
There's no maximum storage capacity for your brain. And constantly learning has been shown to keep people feeling better about their life. So I strive to learn something new everyday, and never limit myself to being a developer who only works on X system or in Y area.
