When I mean generalization, I tend to think about a wide range of skills meant for a single purpose as opposed to different skills for different purposes :)</p> <p>@Gowri I agree. No statements are absolute (including this one). Either approach is not "better" than the other. Every person tends to gravitate towards one of these views depending on their disposition.</p> @Vahid Interesting point of view.

@Gowri I agree. No statements are absolute (including this one). Either approach is not “better” than the other. Every person tends to gravitate towards one of these views depending on their disposition.

I can't zoon on just one specific subject for a long time. It tires my brain. When I work on bunch of different work in parallel, I feel my productivity increases enormously. In a typical day, I work on Electrical Engineering (my day job), computer vision(my hobby) and some python web developing :)</p> It’s true to me too.
