Discussion on: Are mistakes ok?

I constantly feel this tension which is why I probably over-research and takes me so long to get something together 😅

I think this highlights the importance of, if possible, collecting feedback from peers prior to publishing. Lots of benefits:

  1. Fresh eyes tend to catch mistakes more quickly
  2. Early exposure to different opinions, some of which you might not have realized were valid
  3. Affirmation that what you've written is solid, reducing any post-publish anxiety

Ultimately, comments are feedback, so it's just about shifting that left to improve the initial quality of what most people will see.

Yeah 100% Timothy.

I tried to work as your first point, but I was asking people for feedback, where person A would say write A and person B would say no write B.
(More in terms of how to word things)

That's when I decided to just publish and alter mistakes on the go.
Thanks for your feedback, appreciate your view on this 💖
