  1. 🤦‍♂️ Oh no, not another tech apocalypse! Claude Code's Opus 4.5 is here to turn everyone into a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. Get ready for a thrilling saga of engineers pretending to be designers, and designers pretending to be engineers, while PMs are just...pretending. 🎭💻

  2. I'm the technical support department today. Checking my brother-in-law's laptop, which quit booting up. #JackOfAllTrades

  3. Jack of all Trades - The quote often given is partial, so it is important to understand that it is not a bad thing to know about a little about a lot. Being an expert in a field is important, but expanding knowledge across various fields never hurts. #jackofalltrades

  4. I often say I'm "bad at hobbies/fandoms", but that's shorthand for my actual pattern:

    1. Get excited about something
    2. Learn a bunch of stuff about it, including some of the technical details, history, or esoterica...
    3. ...enough to make some people think I must have obsessive knowledge & experience; even some people in that world will think this until we talk for 2 minutes
    4. For the next 1-20 years surf the edges of the thing, diving in a little or a lot when random interest grabs me or I see a reference in social media or IRL

    It's pretty much a "jack of all trades" kind of thing. Shallow(ish) learning/involvement, but deep enough for me to enjoy things and satisfy my personal preferences for bouncing back and forth between shiny, new things and comforting, familiar, satisfying things.

  5. This weeks work included having to understand how mass spectrometers using 25 year old software work and how to create a secure environment and provide safe access to information resources without updating any OS.

    When people ask what I do, I just say stuff cause half the time I don’t even know.

    I have never seen the space and the last time I spoke to an engineer we had to troubleshoot an issue while they had on full safety equipment and respiratory gear!

  6. Jack* of all** trades, master*** of none.

    * What is the bar, here? Can I be a "jack" of creative writing if I've never published anything?

    ** A few

    *** Again, not sure about the threshold. Maybe I'm a master of something, but it really depends on the criteria

  7. 🔧 #Agile projects need #TShaped people, not narrow-minded nerds.🚀

    You need to be a #JackOfAllTrades to get along in #AgileTeams.

    Do we need to worry that we're going to lose the excellence we need in development this way?

    No!.

    With #AgileCheese 🧀 and its built-in #mastermind, you become a #MasterOfAllTrades and always deliver excellent #cheese.

    There's something freeing about not doing #careers.

    No single industry will dictate our path. We won't feel limited to only* applying for certain #jobs or roles.

    Gotta be willing* to pivot. Don't insist on staying in 1 area.
    #WhoMovedMyCheese

    For me, it's better to be a #JackOfAllTrades than a long-time master* at something that doesn't cover our needs + comfort. #work #employment #gigs

  9. Basically I am now IT + Creative Genius + Font of all knowledge™️

Well.. let’s say I’m just never an expert. But I tried 🥹 Maybe I was being too hard on myself? -as always.
    
Anyway.. It was one of the pictures I made with charcoal and chalk. Need a lot more practice definitely.

  12. #followbackfriday is a thing here? Cool.

    I'm a #techie who's spent my life building/fixing #computers, writing #code, reluctantly providing #techsupport to the masses. Recently picked up #DragRacing and performance #tuning. #JackOfAllTrades and master of some. I think I'm funny. Or an idiot. Depends on the day really.
