Some angles for me to see this phenomenon
- focus on the fundamentals rather than the particular brand of tools. HTTP, tcp, HTML, OS, CPU, filesystem, etc will almost certainly out last a language, framework and SaaS
- See beyond the assumptions. Solutions are based on assumptions of current problem. Solutions come and go but the fundamental problem of, for example, go from a place to another, rarely change. Try to distill THE problem.
- focus on outcome rather than action. Ask ourselves why such and such actions matter. Do we know why are we implementing a thing, or if a thing we implemented 6 months ago matter at all.
All of these demands consideration beyond do you know "dewalts" or "bosch"
