Everyone tells you to dig deeper, and

It’s great that you want to. But there’s no point digging into places that no one cares about. Every time you go one level deeper or explore an adjacent topic, ask yourself:

 - Is this worth my time?  - What will I gain by understanding this?

If you don’t have a clear, convincing answer, skip it. There’s no point in spending time and energy on something you cannot convince yourself of.

Do something because it matters to you, and not because some random handle on the internet told you to.
