One sign of maturity in a developer is a willingness to ignore technically interesting challenges in favor of solving less glamorous, but more important, problems. "Important" problems being the ones with the most impact on the users and the highest ROI for developer time. Often a kludge (that may stand for years) is better that finding the "real" and/or "best" solution to a problem. In short - real artists ship.
