I'm been reading the typescript handbook and playing around with typescript the last two days. It's boring work and so I haven't been doing enough of it that I should, but I don't want to just start coding without getting a firm grasp of the language. Otherwise, the effect of doing that is going to ripple out into everything, so it's better not to try and take a shortcut here, I think.

I still have more to read about typescript but I'm pretty confident I will get it done tomorrow, as long as the last couple of chapters aren't huge.

Vanity vs humility..

What do you mean?

Inside you are two wolves. One is humble and doesnt make a show of himself, the other is vain and has to be assured that his place in the world is important to others. Which wolf do you feed?

I think I need both wolves to pull the sled.

I get a lot of energy to keep going by putting my reputation on the line, and letting myself fail publicly if I make mistakes, are being too lazy, or aren't smart as I thought. On the other hand, I think that I need to constantly question whether I'm wrong and listen to others opinions, even if they are telling me how much I suck.

What's the alternative? Keep quiet and build my project silently, and when I run into difficulty there would be no consequences to quitting? I'm afraid I might take the easy path, and let the inner bitch win.

Also, I'm old enough now that if I make a fool out of myself by displaying my thoughts and actions, whether people want it or not, I don't really care.
