This 💯. Tech stacks will always come and go (faster and faster), and it's okay to start by focussing on that level. In the long haul, there is another level that becomes more important.

After 15 plus years, I recognize that moving away from a specific technical focus and looking at what aspect of it all was the real motivator, I could really steer what I wanted to do.

I was hoping that, by sharing my learned lessons here, I could motivate others (in the more early days of their career) to take this with them. ✌🏻
