This belief and self confidence thing isn’t all there is to it though. It’s also a standards issue. Which is also driven by the belief. The belief that putting in the extra effort will be worth it.
That it’s worth it to just have something be higher standard for myself.
Then there is a contrasting, opposite thing. Of wanting to have a very very high standard of rigour.
One voice decrying polish because it’s seen as associative with slop and the other decrying the lack of rigour. So what’s left is rigorous unpolished hard to read things, that are only obviously valuable to someone who is willing to put up with the high lack of polish for a long time.
Interesting, that summarizes my work a lot, for the last two years.
