Excellent comment. The notion of mediocrity is often interchangeable with the notion of compromise, a critical skill in life and engineering. I wish I had learned that in college. It seems to me that "getting shit done" is a tad vague to be useful as a professional goal. Edit: On second reading, I realize that Mr. Zac is sort of talking about compromise. He's accepting his development skills as they are -- "good enough" to be effective in whatever other managerial or planning roles he pursues.
