I had this convo with a friend recently — you must try to avoid looping on whether you're "good enough" or "deserve" x, y, z. There's no authority that can answer that. There's no divine stone tablet for self-grading. This is a perniciously egotistic way to drive yourself insane.https://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1220862873942937602 …

Feeling good about yourself often *follows* the doing stuff, and it's really upsetting to see people put the cart in front of the horse and then blame themselves for traveling at very low speeds
