"Polymath in tech" is by nature not in line with the article IMHO. Let's assume you are a tech expert, now try to be a master chef or PhD in sociology or Olympic gold medalist in rowing etc

I think the article mentions people who are able to master at complete different fields.

you are right, but there is a paralell. when it comes to hiring programmers i prefer people who are good at programming in general and at least familiar with two or more languages. because those who are very good at only one language and have never touched another will have a hard time learning a second language, and, will also have a hard time getting to expert level because they will miss out on that additional pwrspective that other ways of doing things provide.

same goes for knowing multiple web frameworks like angular and react for example, to be even more specific.

good points - completely different fields is sort of key to the article's points

edit: btw - when I read your first sentence - I was like "ah shit...duh" :)
