In any creative endeavor, the largest barriers to completion are internal. The creator gets tired, loses interest, and never completes the vision. The author is saying that getting something out is better than having a beautiful, difficult, half-completed and abandoned lump. It's really the same admonition as the ones to build the minimum viable product, or not to worry about premature optimization. Don't do work that isn't necessary! Every bit of unnecessary work increases the chance of total failure. In the early stages, your biggest obstacle is getting SOMETHING, ANYTHING, out and working. We tell writers: sit down and write. We should tell programmers: sit down and program. Well, stand, if you don't want your back to ache.
