Re: Embrace The Suck. How quickly these things bleed into common usage ... I had occasion to say it to Himself this morning. He was bemoaning an oversight he made in a design and soliciting my input on how best to frame it for his team. I concurred that he would be better served by presenting it as an additional insight to improve the processing rather than as an error on his part. Then I had the rare pleasure of pointing out the irony inherent in his attitude: he was castigating himself for his inability to refrain from judging himself insufficient (read: a failure) because his design didn't include every consideration *perfectly* from the get-go. IOW, he was busting himself for being imperfect in his pursuit of renouncing perfectionism. Well, we thought it was funny. That's when I said, Embrace the Suck. Digression ends.
