I’ve seen this with writers. World building and research is so much easier than actually writing. It’s fun to learn new things and imagine all you could do. But you don’t learn how to use it. Your practical skills aren’t keeping up. Eventually, you look around and realize you haven’t done anything with what you know. And that can feel hollow to some people. It helps to step back sometimes and ask what you find fulfilling. For myself, I need to do things and finish them. I love hacker news and all the cool things I learn, but I know it doesn’t satisfy all of my needs.
