For perspective, here is my story: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4106825 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4106825 I am no "genius", but I am multi-domain for sure. Read the above link. As I already explained it there... the depth is quite like "master" versus "grand-master", at least with me. And I don't know for sure, but it's possible that I become a grand-master at one of my domains at some time (I am still young ;)). I will try to make a comparison with DaVinci. He was probably a "master" of Medicine (Anatomy), and I am sure that really helped him become a "grand-master" of painting. In my case I am a master of medicine, and especially things like genetics, immunology and physiology. Believe me or not, but these things have a whole lot (at least regarding the way of thinking) in common with programming. Especially with how Erlang programs are structured (actor model). Today, Erlang is the programming language I consider my best. I hope, one day I might become a grand-master at programming. Time will tell. And there is another "secret" if you want to go this way. Try to pick relatively "obscure" domains. Being merely a "master" of Erlang, might not be a drawback for my career, but things are probably not the same with Java (just a wild guess).
