Because I can never focus on just one thing, I have a philosophy degree. I’ve worked with product teams and spent lots of time with stakeholders. I’ve written tons of docs because I was the only one on the team who enjoyed it.

I’ve always bemoaned my distractibility as an impediment to deep expertise, but at least it taught me to write well, for all kinds of audiences.

Boy do I feel lucky now.

I have a philosophy degree, have worked in product teams, and have had very similar observations. I could've written this comment!
