4. "Domain knowledge is better" is a bad take and you're wrong, sorry. I've worked with a lot of domain experts who really should have spent more time investing in basic problem solving skills. You *also* need domain knowledge, but the foundations are important.
5. Yes there are a lot of complex emotional dynamics around this and I mostly agree with what is being said about this but maybe "I'm self-sabotaging because I have ~feelings~ about this subject" is the first problem you should learn to solve?
6. On the subject of emotional dynamics: A general purpose problem skill almost everyone is underinvested in is what to do when you get stuck. Most people go "Welp I tried" then get sad and frustrated and give up, rather than sit with the feeling and apply some standard tools.
7. Another general purpose problem solving skill people are under-invested in is asking good questions - especially of Google - in order to try to figure out how other people have approached this problem.
8. There's a sort of meta-problem-solving skill of learning from your problem solving by paying attention to what you did and learning from it. Generally when you solve interesting problems you should get better at solving problems like them in future.
9. There's another meta skill of *recognising what things are problems you can solve* - a lot of people treat things as immutable background states of the world that they just have to deal with. Often solving this requires the "Ask good questions" skill and finding an expert.
10. Another useful problem solving skill is learning to never attempt to solve a recurring problem through "self discipline" or "just try real hard" strategies because those are shitty strategies that will not work reliably and will make you feel bad.
I'm not sure why I'm numbering these. It felt natural at the time, but I don't know why. That's not a problem, just an idle thought.
11. Anyway, the problem I'm going to solve now is that I need to get some work done and I'm on Twitter. I'm going to solve this by noticing that I'm procrastinating and choosing to stop. I'll probably be back later.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
