Years ago some big-name VC or another tweeted "Good enough sucks" and got a ton of attention and praise for their keen insight and commitment to quality. I remember rolling my eyes and thinking, "If it sucks, it wasn't good enough".
- albert_e 3y agoI am not endorsing or defending that pithy saying but maybe they meant .... "What's good enough in the short term sucks in the long term" Or "What's good enough in a narrow view sucks in the big picture" Trying to think of an analogy: if I settle for just "good enough" on a day-to-day basis and don't push myself to go beyond my current skills / comfort zone regularly ... maybe I will regret not pursuing bigger things when I look back at my career 5-10 years down the line. In some senses that is exactly the kind of FOMO and perfectionism that burns out people. After being in that mode myself for almost two decades I am now consciously stopping myself -- almost daily -- from pushing myself too much. You could say I have become complacent or apathetic too.
