we're always in transition always in beta that's why i always seek to improve to be a better beta version of myself
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from today, chapter 5
In other words
In software, beta means a working version still being tested and improved. Applied to a person, the current self already exists and can still change over time. Improvement does not make everything that came before worthless.
Seeing oneself this way changes how growth feels. One version is not a failure simply because another can be better. Progress is worth valuing while further growth remains available. Every improvement marks movement rather than completion. No version becomes a perfect self that ends the process; continuing means staying willing to learn and change again. Better names the direction of the next version, not a permanent finish.
