Genn described some business article and hinted that my career might show some features of a specialist. It made me think about where I have some practical expertise, beyond the theoretical and academic expertise. As a good illustration of the difference of practical know-how vs theoretical expertise — Many developers (like Ash.S) have reasonable theoretical depth, but presumably better than me at GetThingsDone (which I can’t confirm).
