I didn't read it as embrace the chaos, rather to not fixate on the perfect non-chaotic day that's coming (it isn't). Instead adopt a "continuous improvement" stance where any little deviation from total chaos is a win. Iterate that process. Basically the same thing as continuous delivery: start delivering a crappy thing and progressively fix issues / add features until it's done.

Sometimes I said to myself: just spend 2 mins on this side project and get as much done as you can. Surely I can do as little as 2 mins regardless of where it gets me.

Yet I simply can’t. It’s a total mind fu*k.

Yet we all do this all the time. Maybe someone has always wanted to learn some language, and then they’ve never spent even a few minutes starting.
