I really enjoyed reading this Letter Stew, thanks for tying these ideas together. I know something else you are exploring deeply is the notion of being a generalist/having range and so I wonder how you are thinking about these ideas of practice in the capacity of being a generalist?
Glad you enjoyed it! I think it comes down to the problem you're trying to solve in this moment. If that's growing a newsletter, "practice" might look like tweeting more and plugging your newsletter, refining what works over time. If it's building a product, it might look like hacking together a bunch of low-risk side projects that let you try out new tools. Over time, I think a unique portfolio of skills emerge and then congeal into something cohesive.

Asking for myself!
