Basically by reading comments here, every single person has it's own view. Maybe there are too many variables in the equation to have bigger consensus. Clearly it's a trade-off situation; I am on my early beginnings of journey to mastery, but what I decided and how I tackled the road was going for T shape! I am sure many know of this, where you cover all areas broadly, knowing what they are about and you've done some work with them at some point and time, but you didn't dig deep. Except one specific thing, that is your jam, where you chose to specialize and dedicate to go deeper. So in the end you are forming T shaped profile. I am near the end of studies and near the end of phase of trying everything. I know what kind of language/technology/tools, kinds of programming etc etc I like or dislike, so I think soon enough I'll be ready to chose that one thing. Of course it doesn't mean you are done for life with other things, you have to catch the loop and ever changing nature of our industry. In the end, why advices and stories on this topic vary so much is because we as humans are very different between each other. We react with different sensibility on different things in different times & places. So by the nature of things everyone has it's own journey to tell. But the problem occurs when people take it to personal and start pushing it over other people's attitudes and thoughts.
