A perfectionist programmer is never happy with the code and will never want to release a product with bugs -- no matter how minor those bugs are and no matter how urgent the deadline is.
- spooneybarger 16y agoI've never met anyone like that. I don't know any programmers who think that code perfection is the end goal of what they do. Code quality? Yes, but not perfection.
- malandrew 16y agoI agree. This is what "time-boxing" and "spikes" are for. Ultimately it is the product manager that decides when to ship something or how much time should be spent on something. If a developer is allowed to work and work and work and work on something until something is perfect, then I can only come to the conclusion that the product manager or lead engineer is not doing their job.
