Just Fucking Do It

I keep falling into the same trap. I try to understand too much before starting to learn a new skill.

Learning before acting is approriate when:

 1. A mistake will cause the failure of a life critical or mission critical system in operation

In all other instances, JUST FUCKING START. Go through the motions, you do not need to understand, you need to DO.

JFDI Just Fucking Do it.

This is a terrible attitude, you're one of these new age creative "programmers" that cares more about writing code than producing correct software.
