> “Why does the framework not work very well?“

Framework? That’s just silly. It’s a turn of phrase that helps you change your attitude or approach a problem from a new direction.

“If at first you don’t succeed...” I suck. I’m never going to try again! Haha.

I didn’t know the origin of the phrase, and that’s a testament to its creativity.

As a life long learner, I found it useful in ways not related to the origin story. It helps me to overcome imposter syndrome.

I know a little bit about a lot of things, and a lot about a very few things. And I love solving problems with design thinking. Go for it. Feel confident about your knowledge if you have done the work, but know there are others who know more.

All that gets nicely summarized by Strong opinions, weakly held.

While you're welcome to interpret it however you wish, one of the main points of the article is that it is a methodological framework laid out by Paul Saffo[1], but that most people ignore the framework and focus on the catchphrase.
