> [!tldr] one of the most often re-learned lessons Time and time again, I would've been so much better off just taking a first step. Producing some tangible result of a thing rather than sitting back and theorizing what might be a good first step. Just do the thing. Bad art is better than no art. Systems are meant to iterate, not ideas. It's much easier to notice when something isn't going right than it is to predict what might not go right. Keep an eye on the door for a little while, but you have no reason not to go in.
