Needs another ladder where someone crashed through all the steps and left a bloody puddle on the ground; Recklessness gets you nowhere.

Yup. I keep saying, "an ok plan applied immediately and vigorously is infinitely better than a perfect plan ten minutes too late".

i read this attributed to Patton: "A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week."

Emergency response is exactly this. You can't be incompetent, but whatever plan you execute is going to be far from perfect.

I also hate the misused "it's just a bandaid!" cliché. Yeah, no shit: it's not a permanent fix, but it can keep a problem from getting worse until you can address the actual cause. Surgery means fuck all if the patient bleeds out on the table.

Doing first drafts has kept me going. I'm always surprised people like my first drafts. They don't know it's a first draft and they're happy that's I'm sharing anything at all. It feels good!

That's a fine looking ladder - could be better on the second draft, but it's imperfect and great!
