Failing is OK, as is having some wild dreams. Dragging others down with you isn't.

Failing is OK, as is having some wild dreams. Dragging others down with you isn't.
- Fnoord 7y agoNot sure if we need a clear definition on what's OK and is not. I'd say there are different gradations of harm. The article starts off with > Alright, let’s do it, let’s talk about failure. In my role overseeing visual and performing arts at Kickstarter, failure is an everyday term—a project is either “successful” and meets its funding goal, or “fails” because it doesn’t There is a third option for customers: funding succeeds but project either does not ship, does not ship according to specifications, or has serious product flaws. I get that's an elephant in the room Kickstarter (and Indiegogo and such) do not want to mention. It could be something you don't care about. I've seen left and right being confused, Mac/Linux support being dropped, launch date delay (very common) just to mention a few examples. Not every customer cares which fractures the customer base with fans and discontent former believers.
