Great article thanks for sharing.

I love the part of

“Knowing when to stop”

lol. I feel attacked

You learn how to program. You learn how to fix things. But the hardest thing you’ll ever learn is when to leave them broken.

And maybe that’s the most human skill of all.

I do find the pipeline pretty funny:

  1. I'm bad at programming, I should find some side-projects to practice.
  2. I can solve some things, I should find some side-projects to put that to use.
  3. I can solve pretty much anything, given enough time, I really need to cut back on side-projects to free up time.

Personally I have the restraint they are talking about. It's just laziness in disguise though

Laziness gets a bad rap, stupidly bad when you look at how work-obsessed many 1st-world countries are, and the effects that has on people's health, empathy, and the ability to leave well-enough alone.
