I am also a huge HC fan, have his books and owe him a great deal for the inspiration that he has given me. And although I agree with many things that you have said in your post I really do disagree that there are less generalists than before. I think the industry has matured to a stage where there is much specialization but there are many mixing business and creative skills ( I am lumping together producing code and design because they are both creative skills in my eyes). In fact for the 10 years it's been easier than ever to mix these skills. Anyway I am very saddened by his death.
