How are we going to solve this problem?
It’s impossible to know all the possible solutions to a given problem, and the more complex the problem, the more possible solutions there may be.
Nothing inspires me to grab my toolbox more than problems that need solving. How do you add solutions to your toolbox? How do you hone your skills in applying those tools?
This is why trying is everything.
Without the upfront work of experience and trying things, you may not know which tool is sharpest, or the best fit for problem. In tech work this means trying lots of things, platforms, technologies and approaches to applying those technologies. It means talking to people who have tried lots of things and connecting to people who carry a bigger toolbox or sharpened tools.
Get involved in communities, join meetups focused on solutions and try everything!
