Took me song long to realize this. Just * do it is so often a more effective/efficient methodology than "optimize first". Once I have a strong understanding of scope, marginal adjustments carry more weight when starting something new.
Yep. This applies to so many things. Watching your diet? Lifting weights? Learning to code? People will emphasize so many tips, micro-optimizations, recommendations, etc. that can be intimidating and add a ton of work to your plate. But simply showing up every day is 95% of what matters.
