In theory this is true, but in practice a common pattern is that Joe is a superstar accountant&#x2F;lawyer because he can code and uses that to do his job better. This becomes known to his co-workers and boss. Six months down the road he&#x27;s spending a huge portion of his week helping Mike with this one little excel macro or Mary with automatically  generating contracts. He also gets called in when a message pops up on the screen about the virus scanner finding something because &quot;you&#x27;re good with computers and those IT guys always take forever&quot;. He does less and less legal or accounting work, and when he tries to get a raise or find another job it turns out that he&#x27;s no longer a great hire as an accountant but he also can&#x27;t compete with programmers that have had programming jobs. He&#x27;s stuck in this weird hybrid spot that doesn&#x27;t have even have a name and no one hires for it.<p>Maybe that&#x27;ll change in the future, but for now the wiser course may be to keep your superpowers to yourself.
