Being proud of your work doesn't make it better.
Expertise is applying the right amount of effort at the right time in the right place.
It is developed by the long slog of being good enough many many times, because feedback matters.
Good enough requires focus on the actual problem and avoids being proud of something that doesn't solve it.

- brudgers 4y agoI noticed you didn’t say pride in your work would make it better. That’s why pride in one’s work is shit as a road to expertise. It triggers defending one’s honor and makes criticisms personal.
