I'm glad you made this distinction. With enough time, yeah, sure, we can be "good" at any of them, but I've seen companies bring people on without a developed skill set in a particular technology only to find out the ramp-up time to be as efficient as someone familiar with it to be much longer than they bargained for.


agreed. it's really about lifecycle.

near the beginning of your startup, you need multi-hat-wearing-swiss-army-knives for developers. once you get traction and growth, you need to bring in vertical expertise.
