Anyhow, I don't believe in “having an area.” People have skills and interests. We can cluster people… but there are no hard-code classification.

If people stuck to their areas, Tim Berner-Lee would have been stuck in Physics. Instead, he branched out into knowledge management and invented the Web.

That is maybe the lesson in the Patrick Baudisch quote.
