The person who shares a technique has given your next project a new possibility.

A method handed over is worth more than the problem it solves today. Technique changes the shape of what you can even picture attempting, so a five-minute demonstration can quietly widen the next three things you make. The person showing you often thinks of it as nothing, because to them it is ordinary; to you it is a door that was not there this morning.

When someone shows you how they do something, tell them later what it let you make. That closes a loop most people never hear closed. Then find one thing you know well and show it to someone without waiting to be asked.
