If you consider your work a 1.0 then you accept 'shortcomings'. It's important that you are able to deliver that 1.0 and that despite its shortcomings, it does what it was supposed to do and value is derived from it (in the broadest sense possible). The real value is in knowing what is important and what is not. The real value is to be able to make sane tradeoffs within a particular context. That is how to get things done.
