Spiral

Why u do something
IMO, there are few reasons to do smth:

• for money
• to learn new technologies/ language. Usually you copy existing stuff.
• you encounter easier way to do what you already do. So u automate or make special tool for your need.
• you find some tool and think you can do better

why you watch / read smth

• you are bored
• you need some knowledge for action/job
• you want to know more about something you already know/ watch

This is what I call spiral. When you do something, you are going into spiral.

You need to make b for action a. And for action b you need to make action c.
This is similar to dependency hell, but IRL.

Alternative is void - doing nothing.
But what is better - I don't know.
