Sometimes it takes failing several times before you’ve learned enough to do it correctly. Not everything is “study the process fully and thoroughly, and do it perfectly the first time! 😤”
I teach a basic programming class. Third lesson is about inheritance and interfaces. I give them an execercise where they have to implement some interfaces and end up making a " diamond of death". The exercise is called the Kobayashi Maru
A lot of people take failure personally, and become scared to even try in the first place. Failure is seen as shameful, rather than a learning opportunity to better yourself.
Sometimes the answer to “why did it go wrong” is “because I need to practice more”.
Like, I know how to play the piano, I know how notes and keys work and in theory, I should be pretty good. In reality, I’m just shit at it because I never practiced.

You cannot learn anything without failing. The fact we don’t embrace this culturally is a tragedy.
