My 2cents …

You need to master and internalize your tools.

When you are faced with an inherent worthy problem, don’t just go for a point solution, generalize your solution, and ultimately make it in to a tool to benefit for the future. Generalizing and constructing the tool/system pays that technical debt and gets you to have truly 10X benefit.

Acquiring new tools is the surest way to get smarter.
