Aaron is another contributor you could also sponsor and help keep the WordPress project moving along. His work is tireless, and he is truly amazing. He does so much unseen, with a heart of open source. Please consider supporting him this year if you can. Having people like him contributing matters.

This is so spot on. Two things: 1. Being focused on producing output the fastest way possible means that you will never prioritize "going deep" 2. Going deep (and down the rabbit hole) is how you learn more: but you need to balance it. Figure out how to do both: it's tricky!

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
