Awesome read, nailed my behavior to the point, which I never bothered to put in words. Although, from my personal experience, there are some drawbacks to the randomness of a generalist mindset. For example, sometimes if feels directionless and it could take some time to figure out the correct path to follow, when solving problems. But once the path is hit the acceleration can become astronomical. As the saying goes: "jack of all trades, master of none", I would argue this mindset is inefficient, because thinking holistically of any problem, gives much more benefits in the end.

Absolutely, everything comes with tradeoffs, some bigger than other. As long as we acknowledge how at times we will feel directionless I think we can actually enjoy the bumpy ride : )
