Uncanny how close this is is to what I’m thinking about. Is this a common tradeoff people think about? Work on tooling vs work on work? Related to definition of tension = tradeoff + conflict Here conflict is between your pragmatically productive self that just uses whatever expedient tooling state there is, vs idealist self optimizing tooling to death getting nothing done Historically I’ve ignored tooling almost entirely and focused on “work” (well “work” by my standards anyway, which is “screwing around” by regular people standards). But last few years I’ve gotten interested in tooling. Mainly because I’m middle-aging into decrepitude and need tooling for weaker senses, memory, mental acuity, etc

Oscillations may be best. Einstein had to take a break and learn tensor theory and practice before formalising his most famous works.
