Range Is a Hedge Against Change

Deep expertise in one thing
is powerful — until that one thing moves.

And things move faster now.

The pure specialist
is making a bet
that their corner stays valuable.

Sometimes it does.
Sometimes the ground shifts
and the corner is gone.

Range is the hedge.

Not shallow-everything —
but enough breadth
that when one skill fades,
you have somewhere to stand.

The durable profile
isn't the deepest spike
or the widest smear.

It's depth in something,
with enough range around it
to adapt when the something changes.

Go deep. But don't go narrow.

The future belongs to people
who can move.
