Is the age of the data generalist upon us, or are we just witnessing the decline of actual expertise? The recent article “The Generalist: The New All-Around Type of Data Professional?” suggests that over-specialization is out, and jack-of-all-trades data workers are in. Great! Just what we need — a bunch of data amateurs dabbling in everything without mastering anything!
Ever tried fixing a complex issue with a handyman who only knows how to use a wrench? Yeah, that’s the future of data analysis if we embrace this trend. Specialization isn’t a hindrance; it’s a necessity! If you think a generalist will deliver the same depth of insight and precision as a specialist, I’ve got a bridge to sell you!
Let’s not lower the bar; we need data professionals who dig deep, not those who skim the surface!
