Should you share stories about your own mistakes online?

@evan Generally yes but some mistakes may include references to other people and organizations so you have to be careful about confidentiality.
@evan Yes.
It is important to normalize that mistakes are human and that the proper response to a mistake is to learn and adjust oneself or, more importantly, to learn and adjust the surrounding system that did not mitigate the bad impact of the mistake.
The worst response to a mistake is to be embarrassed and cover it up and, moreso, to heap scorn on someone who has made a mistake.
Of course, covering up a mistake is itself a mistake.
@evan Yes, try to turn those into a longer blog post about how to avoid making the same mistake.
