Contribute! While this -- "do not speak unless you can improve the silence" -- is true, everyone can improve the silence in some way, shape or form!* hubski's a diverse place with tons of different topics to blather on about.

*Or can they?

Thanks! It is just that I get easily overwhelmed by a feeling of incompetence when I try to post something. Combined with the Dunning-Kruger effect - you don't know if you're incompetent because you're too incompetent to know - I never know I'm good at something. I'll have a post written up, and just before I want to press send, my mind goes 'it is not good enough, nobody will care anyway. Just delete it already.'

But I'm trying to change that by posting more, just seeing how it goes. I'm doing my best not to overthink my posts, so far that goes well!
