Doing Anything for the First Time

Doing anything for the first time means making mistakes, running into hurdles, discovering the unknown unknowns. Tasks of even moderate complexity are riddled with landmines for the novices.

The consequent task completions will only gain marginal knowledge. Following the principles of 80-20 rule.
