I can’t find the source of this quote, but it applies here: “the hallmark of an amateur is the focus on tools”. Obviously tools matter, but professionals know how to balance getting the best environment set up, and actually producing what they need to make.

I heard that quote when I was an aspiring musician (trombone). Once when I was complaining to an instructor that my horn just couldn’t produce the sound I wanted, he took it, played the passage beautifully, and said “sometimes it’s the fiddler, not the fiddle.” A humbling, eye-opening experience that has applied to all of my professional experiences.
