What if I have no room for mistakes? really, i work in a very stringent environment where the smallest mistake can ruin your career; and with the absense of the tiniest minimal amount of supervision, there are no lines of defense when it comes to assessing the quality of my deliverables.
i guess the paranoia that comes along with such job requirements helps minimize mistakes and enhances awareness for other variables that better shape the outcome or simply identify better ways of getting the job done. would that be a valid alternative to "learning by doing -mistakes-"?
