Chris Mytton:

There’s a story about an art teacher that split their class in half. They told one half of the students that they’d be graded based on a single piece of work, and the other half that they would be graded on the quantity of work produced.

The half that was being graded on quantity ended up producing higher quality pieces.

By iterating and learning from their mistakes they actually ended up producing better work than the students that only had to produce one piece.

Quantity leads to quality.

This rings 💯% true. Most things I’ve gotten good at in my life have come from brute force and repetition. Energy begets energy and quantity eventually leads to quality. The key is to not judge yourself too harshly while you’re waiting for the quality phase to arrive.
