You would probably feel uncomfortable just about anywhere with that attitude.

  Usually when people say "... with that attitude", they're not saying it in a complimentary way. I'd be interested in hearing what about my attitude you object to.

    Probably the bit about being mortified about screwing up. It's certainly not an attitude that's going to jive with the majority of the HN audience. Embrace failure, learn from your mistakes, etc.

      I find that being mortified is a good reason to learn from mistakes -- and not just mine.
      • ctide 14y ago
        Not if you're too scared to take the risks that lead to making them.
        • jacques_chester 14y ago
          There's a difference between taking risks and repeating preventable mistakes. That's what I'm talking about.

            When has Facebook ever advocated to do this?
