    Nobody said anything about taking pressure off. The point is to take a clear moment to accept and acknowledge progress, and then keep pushing for more.

    This is not that tone, this is more about people shitting on not getting the entire cake while they are eating a slice of it. You can want the whole cake, but if you miserably eat it slice by slice without enjoying each, before you know it you’ve eaten the whole cake you’ve wanted, never enjoying it, and the only thing you have to show for it is a stomach ache and a vague feeling that you never got what you wanted (when again, that whole cake is in your gut at that point).
