I’m writing this post on April 16th, 2017, as I’m staring at a drafts folder with partialy finished posts from over a year ago. I feel considerable amounts self-doubt, trepidation, and discouragment towards writing blog posts. In programming, and anything else for that matter, there is no such thing as perfection. Software development is about choosing one tradeoff versues another based on metrics defined by the problem being solved and the prefrences of the team. I feel like anything that I put out into the world must have a high value content. I constantly find myself geting caught up evaluating the objetive value of a post and ultimatly find myself concluding that it is usless and should not be published.
