the main thing that pisses me off is when someone says "no, what you made needs to be better"

I received that line early on in the my involvement with shopify stuff, and I received it early on in the development of (foam) the measurement solution

the reaction might be to the idea that their definition of "better" isn't something that I can simulate, and the reviewer isn't offering relationship, so I recoil, looking for a platonic form that - under review - *interacts with* penetration testing and redirects it harmlessly, like aikido

am mulling over how this works, mechanically. the nature of that reflex of mine. it's constitutional, I think. like "ah, 'make this better'? what if I render moot the evaluation of 'better'? I can rest then. I don't know another way to handle 'better' without structuring a business around the ongoing answering."
