Really? Besides far fetched hypotheticals I can't think of a reason why somebody would say spreading yourself thin is the key to success.

- swyx 6y agothere's a long literature of: - why even VCs diversify bets - why working on side things helps your main thing - how Nobel prizewinners are 3x more likely than the average scientist to have creative hobbies - https://hunterwalk.medium.com/why-a-paid-newsletter-wont-be-enough-money-for-most-writers-and-that-s-fine-the-multi-sku-f41daa074cdb https://hunterwalk.medium.com/why-a-paid-newsletter-wont-be-... and so on. i didnt say that having 4 things is spreading yourself thin. its just a really unscientific thing to assert without proof that having only 1 thing is "the key to success". so i push back on it.
