Strategy #4: Create Beauty, Don’t Avoid Ugliness. Weak pianists make music a reactive task, not a creative task. They start, and react to their performance, fixing problems as they go along. Strong pianists, on the other hand, have an image of what a perfect performance should be like that includes all of the relevant senses. Before we sit down, we know what the piece needs to feel, sound, and even look like in excruciating detail. In performance, weak pianists try to reactively move away from mistakes, while strong pianists move towards a perfect mental image.
of all of the comments this one seems most relevant to development. instead of comparing a thing to its ideal, weak shops are just generally afraid of change because they dont really know whats going on. if you know exactly what you want to build, and something doesn't sit right, then fix it. leaving it alone out of fear just allows your project to continue to evolve into a shapeless unmanagable mass.
