Doing it again, slightly less wrong than last time.

means One pass through a repeating cycle of trying, checking, and adjusting — a single repetition in a process meant to be done over and over.

from From Latin 'iterare,' meaning to repeat or do again, built from 'iterum,' meaning 'again.' That root 'iterum' likely traces back further to 'is/id' (that, the same thing) — so at its core the word just means 'that thing, once more.'

in coding
loops are iteration pretending to be patient
in design
v1 is a rough draft wearing confidence
secret truth
perfection is just iteration you got tired of
