I struggle with perfectionism, which is a major productivity killer for developers and a death knell for startups.
I've adopted a specific mindset in order to push my perfectionistic tendencies aside - I call it "ship shit" - which means the focus is on shipping something out the door even if it is complete and utter shit; ship it with the understanding that you can make it better later.
- nlawalker 16y agoYeah, that's where I'm headed too. I'm starting to see the value of a "get it done" mentality. I need to find my satisfaction from shipping stuff that solves problems, even if it isn't necessarily a picturesque masterpiece of patterns and design.
- dholowiski 16y ago"ship shit" I'm going to add this to my bucket of phrases like "don't worry be crappy" , "fail fast and often" etc.
