The Beginners Paradox

One of the great paradoxes of starting new projects:

1) The first draft is, by definition, the worst solution (in which by a process of iteration it is improved)
2) The time of the first draft is also the time that one is least sure of the success of a new project's success and has the least information available

In other words, one is least capable and least confident at the same exact time.

I realized recently that for some reason, AKA the public education system, people are unfortunately not aware of this.

In my experience, it is those who anticipate this paradox that are fazed the least.
