What I've Realized Since Starting BE 100

Being innovative and influential requires more than great ideas. It requires the sharing of your ideas with others. It requires the meticulous documentation of your decision-making process and rigorous testing and citation of your sources.

So far in my life, I haven't worried about checking my work and documenting my decision making progress. For example, when I do math and physics problems, my work is often disorganized and incomprehensible to anyone but myself. As an engineer, especially when I'm doing real life work, I'll have to document my work clearly so others can understand it and learn from it.
