i try to separate doing good work from making something good. "doing good work" is taking the situation you have and improving it. "making something good" is normally out of your control. @kyotocosmology/1543933537983791109Permalink Look on archive.org

and, like. if you're working on a team... unless you're lucky and all have the exact same vision in your head, this is how it has to be. not every call is going to go the way you want it to, you can't throw your toys out the pram if you don't win every fight.Permalink Look on archive.org

also, that attitude can, if you're not careful, end up devouring you, as there is no end of work if you look for it. and it does not help the team if someone is burning out trying to solve every problem, even the ones that aren't their job.Permalink Look on archive.org

this is one reason i have gotten so frustrated at "no outside work" policies - the logic is, you're supposed to apply all your creativity to work projects. but they shouldn't want all your creativity. they should want you to try to solve the problems that actually need solving.Look on archive.org

you can take a lot of pride in "doing good work"! and you should care if you're making a good game or not. but, to quote a cliche: "grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."Permalink Look on archive.org
