Destigmatizing Failure : Developer Tea

http://spec.fm/podcasts/developer-tea/17687

Destigmatizing Failure and using it as a tool for Learning:

Experimentation treats hypothesis and failure as ways of learning.

Failure is an essential step to the learning process.

We talk about failure as a one-dimensional concept. Either we have failed or we have not.

"Not all failures are created equal." -Harvard Business Review Article
Sometimes failure does not have blame to be placed.

There is a different reason for failure just about every time.
Deviance
Inattention
Lack of ability
Process Inadequecy
Task Challenge
Process Complexity
Uncertainty
Hypothesis Testing
Exploratory Testing

Maybe you failed and you ended up fixing something because that failure pointed out whatever it was that ended up being fixed.
