Quoting: Less programming, more skills

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Thanks David, after meeting you I know what you mean just by a simple “yes!” :)

‘La especialización es para insectos’

Esa misma frase se la escuché a alguien más, pero por ahora no recuerdo a quien.

‘Specialization is for insects’. I’ve heard that from somebody else… but I can’t remember who was it.
