Note: Breadth and depth clash when you have a limited time, but there are
deep analogies that can be carried broadly.

We can go deeper and broader faster when we have access to lots of well-written
and completely written deep material.

My opinion is that management and staff are not working hard enough to find
work. Specialists should show what their special knowledge can do, and
managers should find work that requires specialists.
