There are not so many talented software engineers in Nigeria.
This is something I’ve seen many founders and tech recruiters complain about.
A lot of developers often have a lot of programming languages in their portfolio without having deep knowledge or mastery on any.
A developer who dabbles into multiple programming languages and framework will lack the expertise, understanding and depth required to optimize solutions.
They may possess surface-level knowledge across a broad spectrum but struggle to attain mastery in any particular domain.
The field of software engineering rewards specialization.
Deep expertise in a specific programming language or domain often leads to more innovative solutions and efficient problem-solving.
A generalist might find this challenging
Strike a balance between being a jack of all trades and a master of one.
It's good to have a wide knowledge early in one's career to provide a solid foundation and explore various fields.
However, as time progresses, there's a growing need to identify your areas of passion or interest and delve deeply into them.
This might involve focusing on a specific programming language, mastering a particular framework, or becoming an expert in a specialized field.
Technology is evolving. Developers and software engineers need to stay aware of new and emerging trends, tools, and methodologies.
The key lies in being able to combine a broad skill set with a commitment to achieving mastery in specific areas that align with personal or professional goals.
Having general knowledge about many things but deep knowledge about one thing will get you farther.
