There's a Technology for That!

Nobody can do it all on their own. Drupal is powerful and flexible, and Drupal developers have amassed an incredible amount of expertise in their field. But what happens when Drupal, on its own, just...can't?

We've all heard the expression "jack of all trades, master of none." However, going too far the other way can leave us with tunnel vision, and at risk of obsolescence.

Is it possible that we, as a community, are becoming over-specialized? Is our ability to apply our deep knowledge of Drupal limited by a failure to integrate other technologies and areas of expertise? Can we, in fact, make Drupal stronger by looking to these other technologies and non-Drupal experts?
