A mantra I've started to live by whenever I struggle with the perception of perfection is "Anything worth doing, is worth doing badly". If it's worth your energy to start it, then start it and don't worry about it being perfect. This has helped me in everyday life as well, not just programming. :)
💯💯
I personally have huge issues with finishing projects because I often end up "perfecting" one piece of the code. Without finishing the project. And I get burned out on that project before finishing it.
Perfect is the enemy of done.
Perfect is the enemy of good enough.
Couldn't agree more. I have been (and honestly continue to get) bitten by this a lot, so I have to remind the same thing to myself over and over again.
unsolicited suggestion: removing the last "t" from the title sort of makes it speak for itself:
"done is better than perfec" 😄😄
I like that suggestion 😄
Words to live by indeed!
Amen brother. Thanks for the Friday motivation!
