“I got interested in building robots, and I wanted to teach myself about hardware.

But building things with hardware, especially if you’re teaching yourself, is something that’s really difficult to do.

It has a high likelihood of failure and moreover, it has a high likelihood of making you feel stupid.

And that was my biggest fear at the time. So I came up with a setup that would guarantee success 100% of the time.

With my setup, it would be nearly impossible to fail. And that was that instead of trying to succeed, I was going to try to build things that would fail.

And even though I didn’t realize it at the time, building stupid things was actually quite smart.

Because as I kept on learning about hardware, for the first time in my life, I did not have to deal with my performance anxiety.

And as soon as I removed all pressure and expectations from myself, that pressure quickly got replaced by enthusiasm, and it allowed me to just play.”
