Fireside Chat 7: To specialise or not to specialise?

In this episode, Codurance co-founders Sandro Mancuso and Mashooq Badar and Spain Managing Director José E. Rodríguez Huerta discuss if we should specialise or should not specialise. How about cross-functional teams vs cross-functional people? What is generalising specialists? What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a generalist or a specialist? What are the expectations we have from developers? Are they realistic? Are they even healthy? Is generalisation good for a developer's career? What about other roles—BAs, POs, PMs, UX, QAs, etc?

The idea of the Fireside chat series is to record informal conversations between the three regular hosts. Topics are normally decided just before we start recording. Our objective is to have spontaneous conversations instead of something more structured or scripted.
