It's always good to have a wide base of knowledge, and it's always good to avoid ivory-tower silos. But at the same time, it's economically inefficient to use a specialized developer to do tasks that could be done a lot cheaper by others. It's like using jet airplane to haul a tractor-trailer. Maybe you can do it, but eventually someone will exploit that inefficiency and out-compete you.
