Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

I'm good at a large part of my job because I played boardgames a lot. (thelemmy.club)

It is amazing how little some people think through what the strategy is of doing anything. It isn't a technical skill; it is just knowing what sequence to do things so I can put in the least amount of effort.

I'm not even that great at board games.

I mean, I would consider strategizing to definitely be a technical skill. Like, there is a lot of technique involved in recognizing what is going on, and being able to determine how best to carry things forward. Like that take a lot of technical skill.

Maybe, but I find that being able to optimize a strategy isn't usually a specific technical skill, but something else.
