We all make mistakes. Let's talk about 'em

Happy Monday, Baltimore. We hope your week started off well, without too many hiccups.
 
Speaking of, let's talk about those bumps in the road. For real. At Technical.ly, we so often talk to founders and technologists when they have something nice to discuss: a successful raise, a new product, open jobs, etc.
 
But the epic fails, face plants and errors are often just as informative as the wins, if not moreso. They can help us clarify priorities, recalibrate and actually understand how to do our jobs better. 
 
What's the biggest mistake you've made in your professional career? What did you learn from it? Let us know by replying to this email or sending a note to , anytime.
