Broaden your frame of reference

Sean Voisen recommends to not stick to a particular technology:

Lose the label and become T-shaped. Stay curious. Keep learning. Go deep in a specific technology or framework or programming language, but develop breadth in adjacent technologies that will help inform your work and develop new perspectives.

(From: On being a ‹insert favorite technology here› “guy” | Sean Voisen)

Coincidentally, Jonathan Snook posted similar advice this week, in Shifting identifies.
