    We learn more from mistakes than from successes - I try and foster an approach that is characterised as ‘fail early, fail often’. The majority of my apprentices have come through an education system that only rewards success, and we spend a few weeks unlearning that, but once they start to get the idea, they are willing to be vulnerable and share code that isn’t working.

      This. In my country there seems to be some change on this perspective in the education system, but then, families and society keep this mindset and most people still think mistakes mean failure.
