two ragdolls, one red bipedal and one blue sort of spider-like, are standing tall and proud. the words IDLE are over their heads. after a moment, the text switches to APPROACH, and both ragdolls immediately fall over. the text switches to FALLEN, and both ragrolls twitch erratically as they body-hop toward one another awkwardly.

Screenshot of a quote from the linked essay, which includes the section: "Artists create numerous sketches and studies before they undertake finished paintings, let alone masterpieces. Ken's larger demos clearly built on top of what he had learned in previous ones. It all formed one long line of inquiry and research. In Ken's world, my failures, which I was now calling prototypes, are like an artist's studies, a necessary part of any major undertaking," and "All of my software failures, which I was now thinking about as prototypes, sketches, and studies, had taught me a thing or two about design and programming. If you want to learn to draw, you have to make a ton of bad drawings first. The difference between practice and failure is simply a matter of attitude."
