Can you be a good musician if you always make mistakes while performing?

Maybe you’re a better composer or producer then, but it’s on whoever leads the group of musicians to organize that.

Jerks who randomly push buggy code straight to master might be the reason you have a job. Most of them probably aren’t, but some of them are the reason a bunch of other people have a job running around fixing stuff and being mad about it.

It’s really hard to see yourself as a regulating component in some messy system, but nothing is better for velocity than pissed of engineers heroically fixing all the stuff they hate from some other engineer that’s pumping out mostly working high impact stuff left and right.
