Philosopher and software developer Clif High says:
In all experimentation, as with life, which is THE Grand Experiment after all, two rules apply: first, that all things are difficult in the beginning, thus most of your mistakes are made early in any process; and second, Stupidity Can Hurt.
So watch out in the early stages of any new activity, when we mostly operate at the stupid level.
