I think Steven is saying that these things are hard and unusually don’t work out, not that they’re impossible.


Mmmm danger! Then let’s stop doing anything that is difficult?

If that is bot the message, what is that? “These things are hard, often don’t work, but GO FOR IT”?

I pretty much read: “try to avoid” which is bad advice in my opinion. Like “documenting SW properly while doing development is hard, and often goea wrong” so what?!


Don't do anything difficult until you've exhausted the easy ways first is generally good advice.

It's "work smarter not harder" for knowledge workers who don't realize that using your brain more is the hard work in the saying.
