Building software is like playing an open-world RPG.🎮
The main quest is shipping features. The side quests are fixing debt, improving performance and tooling. Ignore them, progress slows. Obsess over them, you forget the goal. Balance is key.

Aaron is another contributor you could also sponsor and help keep the WordPress project moving along. His work is tireless, and he is truly amazing. He does so much unseen, with a heart of open source. Please consider supporting him this year if you can. Having people like him contributing matters.
Now more than ever it's important for organizations that want to see WordPress continue to succeed to step up. I continue to be in search of more sponsors for the work I do on WordPress core. github.com/sponsors/aar...

This is so spot on. Two things:
1. Being focused on producing output the fastest way possible means that you will never prioritize "going deep"
2. Going deep (and down the rabbit hole) is how you learn more: but you need to balance it.
Figure out how to do both: it's tricky!
