Writing a lot of garbage until I don't suck
My first, and hopefully, worst blog post.
Every journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, but being good at something comes after a lifetime of being terrible at it.
I would even say that you never really get good at something. No matter how long I've been doing software development I can always look back and see how bad I was before now. Part of that is certainly the hubris of the preset; not seeing how bad I really am now. The more significant part, however, is how much failure really helps you progress.
It's been a really long time since I've been willing to work on something I am really, really bad at. At the very least it's been a while since I've been willing to admit I'm really bad at something. Despite that, I really want to start writing. I have a lot of ideas in my head and I feel I should get them written down somewhere. To that end I need to start being bad at writing so I can get better.
This is hopefully one of my all time worst blog posts. Hopefully, I will get better as I keep writing. Hopefully, I can start working on articulating my thoughts well. Hopefully I can get to the point where I can send my Ideas out into the ether and they will actually be understood at some level, and hopefully, this will help me in other aspects in my life.
