[1]Mistakes, chatter, and showing up:

    The more time we spend trying to build new things or get work that
    matters done, the more mistakes we are inevitable going to make.

    I've come to realize that the key is to not let the chatter (both
    external and internal) about the mistakes and the stuff that is
    broken to get in the way of showing up every day with enthusiasm.

    Every day, we get the opportunity to solve puzzles that involve
    continually prioritizing between fixing what's broken, plugging
    short term gaps, and investing in the long term. We get to do this
    in our products, in our communities, in our families, and within
    ourselves.

    We (and what we build) are always going to be work in progress. Once
    we accept that, it follows that the best thing we can do is to make
    the most of that opportunity and continue to earn it every day.

    In the long run, it turns out that becoming is far more important
    than being.

  Wow. That's … not relatable for a lot of people, IT or otherwise.

  My takeaways? Show up and learn from mistakes instead of letting them
  get in your way. If the rest applies, that's gravy.
