The new year is a great time to reflect not only on what you want to achieve but also how you want to achieve it.

I agree with this. Was just talking with my wife on how for her it's very hard to do incremental improvements. She wants and needs results right away. But often, it's the little efforts along the way that can pay off in the long run.
The way that @k00b seems to work on SN is by focusing on the little details and seems to agree with the above mantra. Not trying to ship too fast, testing and testing again, ironing out the details to get the most engaging platform I've experienced in a long while... with the belief that this will pay off in the long run.

To be honest, I'd love to ship faster.
We do seem to prefer shipping a minimally viable thing, gathering feedback, then rinsing and repeating. Nothing will vaporize a developer's soul like working extremely hard on something nobody wants. Just like no habit will form if you need to do it perfectly from the get go.

Sorry I made the wrong assumptions. I'd just like to emphasize then that if this is an MVP, it is a damn good one, and I can't wait to see what the product will look like in 1 year. You seem to have found just the right balance at the level of many parameters. Even introducing the territories seems to be going relatively smoothly (at least, as soon from the outside), although we're both probably wondering what it will look like in 1 year. Tl;dr: keep up the good work.

Oh no worries! You didn't make the wrong assumptions. I was just adding some detail.

This is something that I think we all struggle with. Slower feedback loops and delayed gratification are really hard. Especially when you're working on something that you're not sure is going to work out (like a new business, etc).
It's probably the thing I want to work on most this year is that I need to enjoy the process and the learning, even if the outcome turns out not to be good.

Great article, really, but what if you don’t really wanna your job to be the be-all and end-all of things? I mean, I love teaching, but it is so multifaceted that just finishing the 1001 tasks associated with the many hats teachers wear consumes so much of my spirit. When I have some pockets of free time, I rather hone my writing craft at Stacker News haha

The quest for competence is not just about a job.
It's more a mindset that can be applied to anything we consider meaningful...
