I'm currently obsessed with golf (and for those who write it off as a ridiculous waste of time, I encourage you to give it a go; I used to be of the same mindset as you and I was pleasantly surprised to be very wrong. It's a great thinking man's/woman's game, gives you lots of time with quality friends, and puts you in some of the most beautiful environments you can find). The post speaks to me as 9 out of 10 amateurs are out there doing stupid shit almost every swing - trying to hit the crap out of the ball at the expense of basic fundamentals (primarily balance), attempting miraculous shots when in trouble only to put themselves in more trouble etc. I was one of those dudes not too long ago (and still am sometimes), but recently tried to 'stop doing stupid shit'. It is unbelievable how quickly your scores can drop (that's a good thing for those who don't play) by accepting the predicament you have put yourself in and playing the next shot with intent, focus, and generally being smart about it. I never thought of consciously applying this thinking to startups/programming but it's completely doable and probably effective.
