I believe my potential is unlimited on a long enough timeline, but any practical concrete endeavors or decisions I undertake are bound to be flawed, more or less. For example, I believe I can write an OS. But if you ask me where I think that project would be in a year if I started today and did my best, I would say it would probably be in pretty terrible shape overall, with some parts I'm proud of. And I would keep on working at it.
