FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

	#
	# Building an MVP?
	# Need a quick database you can set up in seconds?
	# What about JSON?
	#
	# by @levelsio (with help from @marckohlbrugge, @oskarth, @maxdeviant and @kumailht)

	# JS
	db=[]
	fs=require('fs')

	require 'sidekiq/api'

	# 1. Clear retry set

	Sidekiq::RetrySet.new.clear

	# 2. Clear scheduled jobs

	Sidekiq::ScheduledSet.new.clear

	// check version
	node -v \|\| node --version

	// list locally installed versions of node
	nvm ls

	// list remove available versions of node
	nvm ls-remote

	// install specific version of node

	#!/usr/bin/env ruby

	require 'selenium-webdriver'

	wd = Selenium::WebDriver.for :remote, url: 'http://10.3.1.7:4444/wd/hub', desired_capabilities: :chrome
	wd.navigate.to 'https://snipt.net/restrada/python-selenium-workaround-for-full-page-screenshot-using-chromedriver-2x/'

	# Get the actual page dimensions using javascript
	#
	width = wd.execute_script("return Math.max(document.body.scrollWidth, document.body.offsetWidth, document.documentElement.clientWidth, document.documentElement.scrollWidth, document.documentElement.offsetWidth);")
