You are knowledgeable is many areas, which means you had to learn about these various areas in which you at one time knew nothing. Therefore, you passed through a "bad at it" phase somehow. And apparently you've done this again and again and again. I maintain that your self-image as someone who hates being bad at things is inconsistent with my observations.

You won’t know until later whether it was the right choice, but since you have no basis for making a choice, all choices are valid, so long as you continue to evaluate and evolve based on the results.

Somewhat ironically, the older I get, the more benefit I get from interacting with people, because I am getting better at relating their experience to mine. You would think it should work the other way around, that I would gain the most from other people when I was young and inexperienced, but I was not then in a position to understand the wisdom they were trying to impart. I’m still not as good about paying attention to other people as I would like to be, but I like the idea of relating it to rapid prototyping and feedback and the design philosophy of leaving options open.

Some gems:

Together with good friends I’ve started to write on a beta-manifesto…
1. being in beta is a natural state of life. Everything aroundus is either evolving or dying…
