I totally agree with the points in the article. I actually have actively pushed myself to learn from my own mistakes since I was around 22-23 yrs old. For me, it was a natural, logical way to learn. I looked at it like riding a bike. Almost noone says they cant ride a bike if they make a mistake and fall. They try to adjust their balance better or think about what caused them to fall. They key is that they get back on the bike. However, in other areas of life, people dont think that what they are doing is like riding a bike when it really is. With that approach I was able to teach myself programming, linguistics, etc. Its kind of awesome to read this article a decade or so afterwards.
