Who would look at a drowning person and say "just swim better and you'll survive"?

A drowning person can't "just swim better". That's exactly why they're drowning in the first place.

What you're saying is true but not helpful. There's a whole process that goes into "just do it" that is weirdly unpopular to talk about. You have to become capable first, and that only happens in community where you can safely make a lot of mistakes.

I don't think this is true. You can become capable while building for a customer base. I don't think I've ever built "in community".

I’d love to know what you think we should say to a drowning person.
