Nice read. Kind of reminds me of T shaped people - https://jchyip.medium.com/why-t-shaped-people-e8706198e437 https://jchyip.medium.com/why-t-shaped-people-e870

  Interesting. Never heard this term before.

  I'd also say that being a T shaped person is how I'd try to be „hirable“ as a generalist. Get really good at one thing that has a title (in my case: „Data Engineer“) but also have a broad range of skills.

    Sometimes it sucks to be T-shaped. Imposter syndrome kicks in all of the time :)

      Doesn't it get balanced by the occasional „Why do I have to show you how to do your job“? ;)
      • taubek 4y ago
        I've never been in such situation. Usually it is expected from me to do it all :)
