Now this is a remarkable article. I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. Great read!

As in the title, it is indeed fallacious to believe that "specialists are always better than generalists". My main takeaway from this is that a generalist surpasses a specialist when they can (eagerly) apply the knowledge of the many different paradigms, thinking processes, and mindsets from other technologies in a constructive manner when tackling problems for another technology. That, to me, is the kind of outside-the-box thinking that is always worth striving for.
