Overcoming the Fear of "Good Enough"

My last post on this blog was almost 2 years ago, not because I lacked the desire to produce content or share something I find interesting, but because of the fear of not doing something good enough.

The truth is, "good enough" doesn't exist. Our field is constantly growing, knowledge is still very scattered, and there will always be content that will be valuable to someone. Even when I come up with a new topic to write about and give up because I think it's too obvious, I forget that the same topic was new to me not long ago and could provide value to someone who doesn't know it or hasn't found a source to clarify it.

With that in mind, I've decided to mentally "lower the bar" and share what I find interesting. I want to keep this blog more active with my thoughts on the field and with some technical content that I've been studying. For more "elaborate" content, I plan to publish on other channels to reach more people.

This post is an example of what I want to do. I'm writing this text during my lunch break, without worrying about who will read it or any other judgment - which, in fact, only exists in my mind.
