> Specialization is for insects.

Yet the advancements in human civilization arose precisely from specialization. Nobody would have had time to build computers if they had to spend all day farming, building houses and writing sonnets.



Perhaps "overspecialisation" then. Plenty of people build early computers while having other interests on the side. And the microcomputer era was substantially driven by people doing it as a hobby.


Ah but that would be bad prose style.
