Building is always a balancing act, no matter the craft. Whether you’re building houses, PC’s or curries, the quality of your components always influence your final outcome.

When we begin to favour some components too strongly over others, the whole project is at risk of failure.

The structural stability of a modern house is irrelevant if there’s no room for plumbing and electrics. A PC with the fastest CPU on the market won’t be worth a quarter of its price if you don’t invest in other parts capable of taking advantage of its power. Chilli is what makes most curries shine, but add too much and the whole dish becomes unpalatable.

It’s so important to protect ourselves from tunnel vision. Balance is everything.
