There's a phrase at one of Chicago's hackerspaces (and probably at many others): Just Fucking Do It.
Talk is cheap. Implementation is hard (and more interesting); JFDI.
Naysayers will naysay, but a thing that's done is more powerful than "Oh, well, you can't do that because"; JFDI.
It also extends to telling people they don't need permission. If it won't be costly (in time or money) for other people to undo, you don't need to ask -- JFDI.
Hyperloop seems really weird, but arguing with Elon Musk forging ahead is weirder.

- grecy 12y agoJFDI - I like that a lot. Thanks. I'm going to add more JFDI to my life.

- NegativeK 12y agoExtend it to how you interact with other people and it'll do weird (good) things. It's really easy to tell other people that they're doing something wrong, or that they should do something you want. If you expect them to say JFDI back, you'll start out with the opinion that their time is worth quite a bit.

- Florin_Andrei 12y agoI agree with the sentiment, but in this case only someone with pockets as deep as Elon's can afford to JFDI.
- NegativeK 12y agoOf course. But if Elon Musk paid for a proposal and then said "Wellllll, someone else should build the prototype", he'd get a "JFDI".
