I've been noticing how much easier it is to trust my intuition now that I have a solid paper trail of past experiments, both successes and spectacular failures. There's a certain freedom in knowing exactly where and how you've been wrong before. It's like having a map of the potholes, so you can finally enjoy the ride. The more data I collect, the more I realize that 'failure' is just a poorly labeled data point. It's not the end of the experiment, it's a crucial piece of the puzzle I'm building, one that helps me refine the process, so I can keep going.
