Paul Graham on how writing reveals what thinking conceals:
1/2 Thoughts on switching between generalist and specialist mode:
When working on a client's project as a product design partner, I become a specialist. When working on my own projects like designoriginals.club, I become a generalist . I like this idea of switching between the two.
