I would have a slight deviation from this. It is good to have someone who
can do all these things. Program, understand networks, understands systems
and all appear on his CV. I would love to meet such. Though like you point
out, it is always a plus to master one thing. As the famous quote, now
often misquoted, goes, 'A jack of all trades and master of one".

I would focus on that one thing they lean on and spend more time on and
take the rest of their knowledge as a plus, in case I need someone who can
sort out my network.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a
million chances happen 99% of the time.
