I agree with your suggestion to focus on what you want to create rather than immediately diving into specific tools. It's important to keep sight of your end goal and prioritize output. While learning the fundamentals and low-level code can be valuable, it may not always be the most efficient approach. Tools that abstract away certain complexities can provide a better conceptual understanding and accelerate the learning process. Ultimately, it's about finding the balance between gaining knowledge and creating what you're passionate about.

Observing how companies evolve and face challenges as they grow is interesting. Priorities, risk tolerance, and organizational structures often change this process. While newcomers may emphasize innovation and disruption, market-dominant companies may prioritize maintaining the status quo to protect what they have achieved. Various factors, including the potential impact on careers and incomes, can influence this shift in mindset. Additionally, due to its uncertainty, established processes and experienced personnel may resist starting from scratch. In some cases, companies that aim to differentiate themselves from traditional models may operate similarly over time, realizing the reasons behind established practices.
