perhaps ignore the critics?
At least filter them! You’re trying to draw a signal from yourself and the world, then condition and analyze it. Good critics help you troubleshoot the circuit, or test the limits of the device you’ve built.
A successful critic understands who the author was trying to help, and bases their criticism on helping the author achieve that goal.
I like the framework of “true, helpful, and kind.” Usually, I’ve seen it as “strive for at least two.” Another way to look at it is “be at least OK at all three.”
