Judging and Fixing Your Own Errors

I see it says, “Don’t jump into stuff.” “Stuff” could be mean anything. The infinitive(i think) “jump” sounds kinda important. It’s like going from one point to another isolated point. It’s different than gradually getting there. Like walking there.

What kind of “stuff?” The quote says, “stuff where you can’t effectively judge what’s correct or working.” I could replace what’s after “judge” with anything else to get a better idea. Here:

  • Stuff where you can’t effectively judge when the cake is baked.
  • Stuff where you can’t effectively judge what animal you’re trying to identify
  • Stuff where you can’t effectively judge what time it is.
  • Stuff where you can’t effectively judge what’s an error or not
  • Stuff where you can’t effectively judge what’s an error mechanism or not.

I think if you “effectively judge what’s correct or working,” then you’ll fix errors. I think what “correct” means is if it has errors or not. “Working” I think means if it’s accomplishing its goal. It seems like it helps to be a good thinker for that stuff. How will you know what’s correct or working if you don’t think well?
