Is synonymous with good developers are also good architects.
I think (if I can articulate my thoughts correctly) my meaning was, that there is an obsession with breaking tasks into specific roles that are then the sole responsibility of one person. To the point of inefficiency (given the number of people you have to talk to for a given feature).
I don't agree that specialisation is wasteful (for the project at least). If it isn't needed, the person can still be a 'standard' dev. But if it is needed, they contribute more. (The only waste is to the individual if they specialise in an un-needed skill).
