Apparently as a baby I learned to run before walking so I want to defend doing it that way.
Running is a bit easier than walking, walking is a process of carefully balancing at each step. Running is just falling, but you catch yourself before you hit the ground. As long as you aren’t too concerned with steering, you can easily at least run until you find an obstacle. And then you’ve learned about a new type of obstacle!
Even the fastest baby should have trouble getting into trouble as long as the parents are attentive — they are tiny and parents have long arms to catch them.
Babies barely have the capability to generate enough kinetic energy to harm themselves I’m pretty sure.
Or I dunno, at least I survived. Apply this to your analogy as you’d like.
Haha, fair enough. Hopefully the slightly tongue in cheek nature of my post came through.
I’ve always understood this to be what the expression was about, though. Skipping the first step to jump recklessly and possibly incorrectly to the second.
Yeah I’m not sure I feel strongly about my own opinion. I think I’m just worried that a bunch of engineers, in absence of designers and product, are going to do what engineers do best: find fun technical problems to solve.
