Failure is half the fun of success

Open Source Software and Hardware is filled with situations
where things have gone horribly wrong, and usually in ways that
(at least in retrospect) are rather amusing. Getting things
right on the first try is hard, and we should be aiming to fail
faster, and we should be celebrating those failures, instead of
dreading them. Taking risks, and exploring new avenues either
personally or in bigger projects is where the real fun is, and
as Thomas Edison said "I have not failed. I've just found
10,000 ways that won't work."
