    This is my stance on wheel reinvention. And my pitch is similar. I offer it to juniors when it feels like they’re setting impossible expectations for themselves. But I just have to say.

    If you wait to start building until you’re sure you know everything, you will never build anything.

    Is excellent phrasing that I don’t think I’ve ever used. The truth of it is self-evident to any senior, but juniors should be able to grasp that “more” rarely increases certainty, so for training and discovery the best you can shoot for is “enough.”
