Specialization is for insects
Here’s a good quote that I came across today (credit to Matthew Gertz).
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. |
-Robert Heinlein (via a character in “Time Enough for Love”)
Somewhat at odds with efficient assembly-line style productivity, but certainly in keeping with the way I try to do things.
