Please tell us why you think it's harmful. I don't see the harm in "too much to learn." That just sounds like software work to me.

When people specialize, the different specialties need to show their value, so they find greater complexity in their niche. The different specialties eventually independently "discover" many of the same concepts but explain them differently and their languages even diverge. I think losing the ability to share is a kind of harm.
