All abstractions are leaky. Some are useful.<p>You can always overthink a metaphor if you choose to.

If you like this model you may also enjoy “paint drip people”<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tidyfirst.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;paint-drip-people" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tidyfirst.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;paint-drip-people</a>

You probably don&#x27;t want to adopt this metaphor.<p>Imagine someone saying it in a meeting that includes people <i>other than</i> some homogeneous group that thinks it&#x27;s funny and clever and appropriate.<p>If you saw someone else making that mistake, you might have to interrupt them diplomatically.

This is just a T-shaped skillset described by one of those people who are oddly-allergic to using already existing terminology and have to invent their own.

That&#x27;s so uncool. As in: some people are cool, others simply don&#x27;t understand cool.<p>Surfers are cool. Surfers for the very most part don&#x27;t wear speedos.

Why speedo? Why not bikini?
