Somebody I follow once tweeted something like "What practice in your field is the equivalent of practicing free throws in basketball or scales/etudes in music?" Can anyone point me to this tweet so I can credit the author?

Or as a second guess

I think the post you're thinking of was from Tyler, though I may have ranted to you about it prior. This q was in my 05/19 Emergent Ventures application, but I didn't write about it publicly; wrote on it in 07/19 (I think independently, tho maybe via convo with TC?)
I confess I've not learned nearly as much about this question as I would like! I've found almost all the answers people have given quite unsatisfying. And yet I'm unsatisfied by Ericsson's conclusions around the intractability of deliberate practice in knowledge work!

How about “getting a complex set of design trade-offs inside your head, so you can prune the solution space quicker than most”?

The idea came out of a dinner I had with Tyler Cowen in New York a couple of years ago.
He came up with the idea, I turned it into an article, and he built upon it.
