This quote from software engineer Kent Beck pretty much sums where I keep going wrong.
“By far the dominant reason for not releasing sooner was a reluctance to trade the dream of success for the reality of feedback.”
Dreams of future success may be a comfortable place to hang out, but they’re a complete waste of time.
Finish the work. Put it out there. Listen to what other people think about it.

The people who know me the best and love me the most tell me I should start teaching English.
I feel a bit guilty doing this without being fluent in Italian, but if I sit around waiting to be fluent I might never start teaching.
Think I’ll throw myself into this and figure out how to swim.
