Asking all my life.
I like the way Tom Webster thinks. In his latest newsletter, he talks about the “fail forward” mentality.
Here’s a phrase that’s used to promote failing fast

It’s that time again. Github and gitpages you’ve been great. But I’m lazy. Lazier than lazy lately.

Giving new life to what could have been an old paper weight, awesome!
Would you look at that. Medium has rolled out it’s new-ish/old-ish layout. Very reminiscent of classic blog layout. Perfect for the simple, the irreverent, and the unimportant posts like this one.
