If your framework is overcomplicated, if it requires many steps to get up and running. If the space between start and success is a long battle fraught with many discussions, forum posts, and chats to get there. Chances are adoption won’t happen as quickly as you want it to. Adoption, in any framework, is key and critical to design. If people can’t easily get into it, it doesn’t matter what it can do.

As often as I forget, I am just as quickly reminded, that all development is on the fly. You can do all the courses, go through all the reading, and understand what is needed where but at the end of it all, you are always doing development on the fly. You are always learning what needs to be done in the moment and figuring out the approach to get there and make it a success – it’s never laid out clearly.

The best message to ever receive – “Compiled Successfully” – never changes no matter what language you work in, what code you write or what project you are working on. Your code might not do what it is supposed to do. It might do something odd when deployed. But the first step to happiness and success will always be, that it compiled successfully.

If you are always winning, you’ll never know what to do when you lose. You’ll never know how to help your team when they are faced with that change in paradigm, when things go wrong when people aren’t there when stuff doesn’t line up. You need that feeling of something going wrong, you need that emphasis of something breaking and having to figure your way out, you need that pressure to know you have to create another path to get out of it. Without losing, you’ll never have those opportunities to do those great things.
