First times ...

It’d be ambitious, I think (to not say foolish), to expect “perfection” from a first-time in anything,

It’s in a sense like “catching” a wave…; well, to begin with, it can’t be caught, and there have never been two of the same. What I think we can do is become familiar with how such “intelligent systems” in life work, and become humble enough to aspire to participate in them; not to control them (as if we could). Can one get good at surfing? Sure; it begins with a long stretch of falling, and then hopefully falling less often. Yet falling is not a flaw; it’s a guiding feature of the ongoing “conversation” with that system; it’s refining the ingredients for the next recipe adjustment; it’s revisiting the color mix and the quality of the brushstroke.

It’s never-ending, and it always begins with the first one.
