Cool, yeah that split makes sense to me. I had originally assumed that âtalking to people about models of whether ELK helps anythingâ would fall into a âcommunity building track,â but upon rereading your post more closely I donât think that was the intended interpretation.[1]
FWIW the âonly one trackâ model doesnât perfectly map to my intuition here. E.g. the founders of doordash spent time using their own app as delivery drivers, and that experience was probably quite useful for them, but I still think itâs fair to describe them as being on the âcreate a delivery appâ track rather than the âbe a delivery driverâ track.
I read you as making an analogous suggestion for EA community builders, and I would describe that as being âsuper customer focusedâ or something, rather than having only one âtrackâ.
You say âobsessing over the details of whatâs needed in direct work,â and talking to experts definitely seems like an activity that falls in that category.
