After one release that goes well, you’re perfect.

If your second and third ones go just as well, you’ll maintain that perfection.

But eventually, the more you do, the greater you open yourself up to the chance that something will go wrong, that you won’t have the perfect release.

That your code might blow up.

That a bug might get missed.

What factors outside of your control will cause you to slip?

Because presumably, you are reaching higher and higher each time, aiming to get better and better as you go.

So your streak of perfection will end.

The question then becomes – do you become satisfied keeping your chances for maintaining perfection low or do you keep taking on more, knowing your streak might one day end?
