I am much more naturally a generalist. I started as a cell biologist, and now write software full time, but also like hardware, woodwork, literature, etc. Everyone says that to get ahead you need to specialise, but this does not come naturally to me. I think the points people have raised about CVs of generalists often losing out to those of a specialists is true, mostly in terms of getting through the initial screening by the non-technical HR person.
