Are you truly a “generalist”? These are the different “roadmaps” for someone who wants to be good at something.

I have one rule that I have kept for a decade - I don’t touch the clusterfuck of front end development.

My value proposition is simple. Like Joel Spolsky hiring criteria, I make sure I continue to have experience that shows “I am smart and gets things done” and I pick a lane to go deep in - “cloud native green field implementations”. If that lane starts to narrow, I’ll jump on projects at work that get me into another lane. Technology is just a tool. Anything you learn new, Tens of thousands of others will learn the same thing.

Learning technology and not knowing how to communicate with the “business” and how to communicate adding business value will not help you stand out.

I’ve done this for over 30 years.
