Strong (but polite) disagree. Domain knowledge is now commoditised more than ever, the only valuable employees are intellectually flexible ones with a can-do mindset, ideally more senior ones who will also take responsibility for the final output. Thats all we hire right now.
With the exception of companies so huge that economies of scale make hyperspecialisation the sensible choice, however I ignored these because this is a startup and small-medium business community
Respectfully I remain unconvinced. Especially now with people thinking that AI basically does a baseline "good enough" on many things, specializing more deeply than the AI does is probably a really important thing for people
We already have a massive oversupply of generalists and AI makes that easier than ever, so idk. I think specialists are more valuable
