Yeah I do concretely think one needs to guard against being an obsessive problem solver… but, also, there are some big problems that gotta get solved and while there are downsides and risks I mostly think “yep, I’m basically here to ~obsessive problem solve.” (even if I’ll try to be reasonable about it and encourage others to as well)
(To be clear, psychologically unhealthy or counterproductive obsessions with problem solving are bad. But if I have to choose between accidentally veering towards that too much or too little, I’m choosing too much)
