> Both dimensions can be useful; but breadth gives us perspective, and thus wisdom No, it really doesn't. If you haven't ever gone through the work required to become great at something then you lack that perspective completely. If you have gone through that journey at least once you start seeing that journey in other domains as well which gives you a lot of understanding about the field, about engineers, about what projects actually require etc. I really don't see how you can be considered wise without having seen that, not as a software engineer at least. Maybe you could be a great product manager though.
