I find focusing on fundamental tools and concepts like terminals and text mode editors like vi and emacs will pay off handsomely. All the fancy dialogs will switch around every few years. This mindset extends to stuff like Word. Whenever you do something think hard about the essence of what you’re doing. Realize this should have been a script, but due to constraints in reality you are forced to use some wanky GUI. If you look at it like this, you won’t care the pixels move around. Your mental model will be solid and building that is 90% of the work.
