A·daptoma·ni·ac

noun

They have an insatiable curiosity and have experimented with a little bit of everything. When you look at their resume, you see a broad range of experience in terms of industry, technologies, and roles.

Perhaps the strongest sign of an adaptomaniac is not the experience they already have but the willingness to take on any new experience.

If you hear a developer say "Oh, no, I'm not a front end guy" or cringe at the thought of having to learn a new programming language for their next project, they are probably not an adaptomaniac.

Real adaptomaniacs love to learn new things regardless of the problem domain and whether they have any experience in it.
