> I dunno if it is really healthy to obsess over only a single thing, especially (IIRC) GP made a HN post some time back about burnout. The word is "focused", and the burnout I was speaking diluting my focus too much and stalling out which I foresaw (as this isn't my first rodeo). I could talk more about the month long RV trip through the southwest where my wife and I saw the Grand Canyon? But, is that relevant? :shrug: "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee

It's funny you mentioned focus. Until recently I had a lot of trouble maintaining focus. I just complained about it in a different thread, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35905529 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35905529 I still think it's healthy to have multiple interests that you engage others with, but I also accept that in some contexts focus can appear as obsession.
