According to the article, ignorance (of the complexity) is one of the best conditions when starting large projects.
I have heard anecdotes from people finishing large projects that they would have never started had they known how hard it would have been.
Not everyone can turn their ignorant mind on and will always think about all sorts of problems at the start of a project, but perhaps it helps to not get intimidated or blocked by them and get into a mindset that "we'll cross that bridge when we get there".
- wuschel 5y agoThe is a real opportunity cost when completing these 'large projects' that often becomes visible at the very end of the endeavour. Ignorance can be a bliss - ignorance can be devastating. At the end you need to decide on case by case basis what is the best attitude in order to proceed in the best interest of all stakeholders.
