Ask HN: Is it better to generalise or specialise as a developer?

I’m a freelancer, and very much a generalist. I’ll often say I can do something I haven’t done before (which has proven to be true) as an excuse to learn something new.

I find different kinds of projects keep me interested. One month web dev, next month apps, the next month microcontrollers, next automation, etc.

I often hear it’s good to find a niche. Wondering if anyone can speak to the benefits of doing so?

Thanks!
