    • Doing well can mean several things:


      • What you state is factually correct.
      • Many people know or appreciate your work.
      • The performance of your tool  or system is competitive with respect to some measure.
      • You are getting a lot done.
      • You are making a lot of money.
  • For most tasks we accomplish, no quantitative measure is satisfying
  • Most non-trivial work is not without errors. The best way to avoid errors is to do trivial work.
  • A secondary characteristic is what you believe makes them good.
