I guess it depends on you. I'm not sure if it's ADHD thing or not, but I just love researching random things (and forget them next day) and I guess that's what makes me decent also at what I do for living.

Someone asks a weird question in our friends WhatsApp group, and I end up investigating it for 2 hours and spamming the chat with everything I find - often annoying the people in that very chat =D

And that transfers well into starting a project I have initially no fucking clue about

Yeah, lol, thats me too, also helps me at work (well, not help "me" per se, but the quality of my work is much better).

I love having approximate knowledge of many things.

Its about the best thing the modern information age has to offer to a pleb like me. A few hundred years ago if I wanted to research a random topic I would have had to be very lucky, prob royalty.
