I feel this so much. https://cloudisland.nz/@baroquebobcat/112771264660480851
You see it a lot in software. When your aim is to get done and move on to the next thing, like you're playing speed chess, it's very difficult to build knowledge and expertise. Moving fast narrows your experience of the work. You gain less from having done it.
Organizations encourage this almost by default, but to their own detriment, and that of the employees. It's very efficient in the short term, but the long term costs are huge.
The world is full of companies that are getting tons of work done, but learning almost nothing. And they try to chain their employees to the same fate, all in service of the next quarterly goal.
My advice to you is to, whenever you can manage it, not let them rush you. Take time to gain the full individual benefit of having done the work. Dig deeper, push further, find out why, experiment, learn things that are not immediately useful. These things make your labor powerful.
