I’ve found my problem to be the opposite. You can spend too much time making everything technically perfect and nothing ever gets done. It’s much better to have a working product, customers, investors, etc with some code that isn’t perfectly DRY for example, than academically perfect code for a product that’s 20% functional and no one will ever know exists. In the real world we have limited resources when starting things and you sometimes have to pick between those options. If you have something new and very limited resources, get something going and refactor it later.
