Before heading to management, I chased this as well. I found that people who keep a personal wiki and documentation get the same benefit. It’s a great way to organize your knowledge, and keep Anki to things like syntax.
However, the next gap is learning to reason about these things from first principles. It’s the “10x” commonality and I believe it can be learned, but it takes a different set of tools.
