The best research — like the best product work — comes from people who can sit with a problem long enough to actually understand it, not just ship the first version that looks like an answer. The pressure to publish and iterate fast is real, but the compounding comes from depth.

Excellent excellent read. Hyper-relevant to research but a balanced temperament is key to doing great work of any kind.

Excellent discussion… I’m preparing a book on a related topic of habits and methods… this is a really fertile area to explore & reflect upon. 🎯💯Thanks
