Do you consider yourself a generalist or a specialist?

Generalist: one whose skills, interests, or habits are varied or unspecialized

Specialist: one who specializes in a particular occupation, practice, or field of study

Pollen deposition rates on bramble (Rubus futicosus) flowers were higher during the night than during the day, suggesting that nocturnal moths play an important role in the pollination of this plant species. #blackberry #MothPollination #generalist

Hello (again) World!

I suppose it's probably about time for another #introduction since I’ve moved servers. Hi! I'm me. You know I'm me because I said so, and this is the Internet so why would I lie?

I'm a #security #generalist, currently focusing on securing client devices (your employee laptops/desktops/phones) and #ZeroTrust. I like to think I'm reasonably competent with #X509 certificates and #2fa.

Mer #spesialisering eller først og fremst #generalist? Debatten om #spesialistutdanningen startet med et innlegg av Arne Holte. Her svarer visepresident for fag- og profesjonspolitikk i Psykologforeningen, Arnhild Lauveng.

New year, new version of my #introduction - I'm a #generalist technician but primarily act as a computer #network admin for a range of organizations with a focus on security. I work with a truckload of different hardware and software vendors, and will post some of the weirder or more important stuff I come across in the field.

I would rather be a #bike mechanic any day of the week. When I'm not riding my #singlespeed or #commuter #bicycle I'm #reading about #transportation and #urbanism , #hiking, or trying to get my #kids to hike or bike with me. That or I'm boosting the latest/dumbest #dadjoke I see on here.

@ringwoodunitarians @timelordiroh @Brightdave

Sounds like good advice to me!

I think that I'm a #generalist connector fediverse cheerleader, which is a little different path, but all solid suggestions.

I will soon have a more private, smaller personal instance. That I completely control [insert evil laughter here] but this one is all about making connections amd having conversations.

@ramblinghobbit

Same!

I've come to think of myself as a #generalist and I'm ok with that!

#Protip for when you need an extra #generalist on your #software team but only have #specialists:

1. Pick a specialist who seems able to do the generalist job
2. Assign all their specialist work to generalists who don't know how to do it
3. Assign the specialist your generalist tasks

This works because the generalist from 2 will "complete" the work by handing it back to the specialist, but you ALSO have the specialist on the hook for another person-worth of generalist work. Problem solved!

@bbak sometimes when you're a #generalist it's a problem. But when company need someone with wide knowledge, it's not that easy to find one.
And (lucky for me), still are companies on the market which needs people like me 😉

Most companies don't need what I would call a #generalist.

What they need is a rather low amount of specialists but many that are on a 80%-level of a respective #specialist in a handful of adjacent topics, so they can work on a (business) process end-to-end.
