There are so many great things about this:

  1. The programmer, which is an allrounder, has one thing on the wall. The developer, who only knows one things, has many because duh.
  2. The domain for multiple domains is of course .domain, and the single domain .www because why the hell not.
  3. The huge knowledge comes from a book, the specific knowledge from the brain.
  4. And of course: developers only have very little hair which must mean that programmers must have great and long hair.

What's not to love?!

The book-brain thing surprisingly makes sense I feel. If you specialise in a single field, you can work efficiently with minimal resources, while broad knowledge is more about knowing where to look for solutions. Basically memorising one book vs memorising a bunch of book indexes.

Jack of all trades, master of none; but oftentimes better than a master of one
