Notes de l'éditeur
- At first, this seems like nihilism and giving up. Which, sure, it could be. Another way of looking at it is that if you’re trying, you’re not good enough yet. Go back and practice. I like both of these interpretations. But I also add in: I’m lazy, so I’d like to setup a system where I don’t have to try too much. In business, this is called “profit margins.” I like the max them out.
- Getting stuck in analysis paralysis. You need to just ship. See if it worked. Fix. Ship again. Repeat. Think in terms of downside, choosing the best worst option. The Powel thing: less than 40% of info, get more. Beyond 70%, make a decision. http://mwnation.com/40-70-colin-powell-rule/ Whatever that Welsh guy is. But, don’t get stuck organizing your files and Moleskines. https://crazywalls.tumblr.com/post/145348739970/new-yorker
- Beware reversion to mean. Don’t exceed expectations because you’ll just let people down, and they don’t care. This is something from the Google SRE book.
- Don’t get assigned homework because you were trying to help. Also, people often don’t actually want help. They either want to just complain, talk out loud, or have you validate them. E.g., asking for input on writing. Pic: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wocintechchat/25392499753/in/datetaken/
- Be selective in how you spend your energy. Save it up. If you have to, make other people spend a lot of energy and rope-a-dope them. Of course, I’d prefer never to get in the ring in the first place. That sounds like a bunch of trying.
