"Wax on... Wax off.
"Wax on... Wax off.
Wax on... Wax off."
On the path from novice to proficient, the reps aren't just for show.
They are the point.
- friction
- bottlenecks
- setbacks
- frustration
- boredom
Now, we can skip it.
But these built capacity.
Resilience.
Judgement.
Taste.
We save time.
But we might be losing the struggle that made us good in the first place.
We removed the chores.
The path to mastery may have gone with them.
