Good enough post, Nat. Thanks. On the quality curve, my experience is that sometimes it's more like kneading dough—too much work and it gets worse. So the curve dips. But I see your point that there's a meta curve composed of all these curves and to keep pumping out more and more delicious pastries.
That's a really good point Chris, you're right. That's definitely worth exploring in a follow up post. I certainly feel it on the day to day level too, as much as I want to spend more than ~2.5hr on book work that seems to be my limit.
I thought I'd never come close to crypto after losing bunch of money. But you're writing is so good you convinced me to get your book. It was a good choice.
I don't know if you remember this, but we talked 5 years ago when I started writing my book (on human intelligence). Well, I took James Clear approach and "became the book". My life completely changed in the mean time. I'm now on my 2nd draft and its finally becoming something good enough.
Tucker Max advice was the best: just fucking write.

Wow Nat, great post! Given your popularity level, I like every single thing that you publish!
This concept reminds me of a fundamental concept inside one of my favourite books ever, Factfulness.
"The world is bad, and it's also better than ever. Both things are true at the same time"
Yes, it's a good piece. Yes, it could be better. Also yes, hit the damn publish button.
I agree!
Pretty sure the sentence "But you can’t set the number too high." should be "But you CAN set the number too high."
Otherwise it doesn't seem to make sense in the context.
I needed a post like this to know that I can make good things but It can be always better! Thank you!
"Next time will be even better" - I love it! Thanks for sharing, Nat.

Perfectly put!
The foundation to make this mantra work is patience. Or working on a longterm horizon.
If you need the next release to be perfect, you never release it.
