Jack of All Trades, Master of None
About this episode
In this episode Matt and Mike discuss something that plagues a lot of web developers, being a jack of all trades. As a web developer you're expected to know a lot of information on not only making up the user interface, but also the databases, hosting platforms, and even design principles that makeup the websites you build. Some of this can be alleviated if you work in a large team where responsibilities are spread across multiple specialists, but for freelancing and small business you need to wear all the hats to become successful. Being a jack of all trades without a mastering a single one can also make you experience some impostor syndrome due to all the hours you've spent getting this far in your career.
