Listener Question: Crispin asks, "What's the threshold from executing to mastering?"

In today's episode, I answer a question from listener Crispin Bennet!

Crispin wrote in and asked me about the balance between learning something ("deep-dive" style) and doing just enough to be productive today.

Mentioned on the show (or relevant):

  • "Mastery" (book, Robert Greene)

  • Where is the code being executed from?

  • What is being passed to the code in the form of state or arguments?
  • What is the intention of the code? What should be true? What is the desired final state?
  • Where does the code return to?
