Clever architecture always beats clever code.

Companies that don’t get it confuse furious activity for fixing more and more effective ways

Natural focus can change to learning new things.

Focusing on learning and implementing brain health above all is the key I’ve found.

Starting to introduce individual magnesium threonate and zinc made a surprising difference.

Normal things like understanding how sleep, hydration, exercise, diet. The science around gut health has also been interesting for its contribution to focus and energy.

"Clever architecture always beats clever code."

Since the difference between clever code and broken code is often obfuscated and ephemeral, it's difficult to argue with the assertion.

I've so rarely seen clever architecture that I find it difficult to agree with it, though.

I amused myself for a few minutes reflecting on your choice of the verb "beats". Quite clever, to introduce such rich ambiguity!
