i think of it as being a character with stats

having depth in technical skill is maxing out one stat

but there are more stats

- how you communicate, persuade, negotiate, and sell ideas

- how you work with the team, how you navigate office politics

- how you meet your kpi's, how relative your efforts are in capturing business value for the company

sometimes it's not our technical skills that determine our satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

personally i enjoy my technical skills more when i work on my personal projects. pure enjoyment lol.
