"generalist" is opposing "specialist" and doesn't mean "everythingist". Someone who has done some full-stack dev, has run some marketing campaigns, and can kick out usable graphic design work when needed is a generalist (not an incredible one, but one nonetheless). What you're describing, if not a difference in kind (i.e. something other than generalist), is absolutely a significant difference of degree to the tune of the difference in degree between a mediocre junior software engineer fresh out of college and a 10x (in practice) senior software engineer with years of experience. They're absolutely not appropriate for the same set of jobs, but they absolutely are both "software engineers". Why is the term "generalist" so tightly constrained in your mind?
