We have to be focused on what we really know, and go deep on that area. I think we can't be an excellent programmer and designer in the same time, for example. So if you keep in your way, it's better than being a bad professional on these two areas. I agree with you, John.

I once had an interview, at a previous job, with someone from HR and it was a huge waste of both of our times because she had no idea how to answer the questions that I was seeking about the company. It would save companies a lot of time and money for HR to just side step when the company trying to bring in new people for a technical job. Yeah HR people definitely can get in the way.

Those kinds of job ads always annoy me. I think I've only met one designer/programmer who could possibly fit the bill most companies seem to be looking for, and suprize suprize - he works at Apple now. I'll wager there's not many in this world who could possibly live up to such bloated job descriptions. I wish HR depts would stop relying so heavily on buzzwords/keywords and concentrate more on seeking out individuals based on their portfolio's/reputation etc. Well said, John.
