    Also, in practice, they’re usually only good at one or two of the things on the list (at best) and hack their way through the rest. As much as people make fun of overspecialization, it happens in every field for a reason.

          I have seen SQL written by professional Oracle DBAs. What I learned is that I do not want to look at SQL written by professional Oracle DBAs.

      Eh, not sure if this is true at all. I think the reality is that niche specialized roles are valuable (frontend expert) but you are not “hacking” your way in full stack unless you are a junior or just bad at development.

      I don’t consider myself to be hacking anything I do, even things I’m not as strong in (ci cd) I pay full attention to documentation and examples before blinding coding or writing ci scripts
