Upfront, I mostly agree with the post. However, I may be a tad famous about striving for perfection in my code. [1] [2] Why? If "good enough" is good enough, why do I go further? For a few reasons: 1. I want the industry to be more professional [3] where it matters, and I need to set an example. 2. The kind of software I write already has alternatives, so mine needs to be far better to get adopted. And it does. [4] 3. Also, I am just a perfectionist. It's a problem. Anyway, "good enough" is good enough most of the time; just make sure that your situation doesn't require more.
