Do Or Do Not. There Is No Try.

Thanks to my buddy Alex Iskold at Adaptive Blue for my new t-shirt.

$DO || ! $DO ; try

try: command not found

That describes my marathon and life philosophy perfectly.

    Aww, where can I get one of those t-shirts? Are they perhaps for sale or was it custom-made?

    Love the shirt. Love the philosophy. Found some errors in the code (feel free to insert your own favorite success probability):

    $DO || ! $DO ; try

    try: command not found

    if $DO then $FAIL = (RAND() < 0.8)

    Yes…Ancient wisdom from Master Jedi Yoda. I have quoted that many times to my employees.
