No, my friend, if you are deeper than "just a pilot" and also capable of defining and building software (even with claude) that works and works well as extensions to industry tools like CRM, then you are not a generalist, you are an intersectional specialist of the kind Scott Adams used to talk about as "skill stacks" here:

You have two good skills, median-level among those specializations probably, and combine them into a top-tier niche ability.
Also, did you voluntarily disclose that you thought that comment was about you? It feels like you are the friend they were talking about, lol
- piloto_ciego 7d agoI don't know, I was a good pilot, I'm a mediocre programmer compared to some Leet code heros or whatever, but I'm making money? And it's working? I literally see the evidence every day... that was why I responded.
- jvanderbot 7d agoYep, that's how skill stacking works.
