My stupid brain is only happy when it roams

Definitely concurring with this Warren Ellis post from a few days ago:

My problem, apparently, is that I’m interested in too many things. In fact, someone made a point of writing to my office a few weeks ago specifically to tell me that my interests aren’t interesting.

I never had a problem with being a generalist – it’s a big world and it’s been around a long time and I want to learn as much about it as I can. But, these days, to get ahead you have to niche down hard, to become a trusted expert in one particular thing. You want to be the one voice the AI reaches for to answer a question, or the single speaker in your specific pigeonhole.

So this here is where I don’t do any of that and wander all over the place, because my stupid brain is only happy when it roams.
