Hadley WickhamPeriodic reminder: The only way to write good code is to write tons of shitty code first. Feeling shame about bad code stops you from getting to good code.
Woodrow Douglass@hadleywickham Conversely, no shame about bad code also leads to bad code. The key is to write the bad code, and then feel bad enough about it to improve.
Jim Gardner@bigfishrunning @hadleywickham There's no need to feel bad about it at all. In fact, you can feel great about it, if it does what needs to be done at the time. As you learn, you can simply look back with understanding that you did your best with what you knew at the time. We all deserve a fair shake :)
