Your First Version Is Allowed to Be Bad
Perfectionism Hinders Learning
Perfectionism often hides as high standards. In practice, it delays learning. The first version of anything is supposed to be rough. That is its job.
Bad Versions Are Valuable
Bad versions create contrast. They show you what works and what does not. Without them, improvement has nothing to attach to.
Publishing Imperfect Work
Publishing imperfect work feels risky, but the cost of never finishing is higher. Skills improve through iterations, not intention.
Finish, Then Improve
Finish the bad version. Then make it better.
