Apparently most people think stuff just happens on the first run. I write code for a living and in most cases it doesn’t run as intended on the first run, I can’t imagine making a fucking fusion reactor “just work” by assembling it and pressing “start”.


And then your results are published online (either because you need funding or someone reports on them) and people criticize you for not accomplishing your goals. Humans... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
