There’s no goal in this case to “reach perfection” on the whole. One just focuses on the stuff they’re good at and find easy to do at the expense of necessarily, but perhaps more difficult and less pleasant work. I’ve been guilty of this. And I will be guilty of this in the future I’m sure. It just helps to be self aware or it could get way out of hand.

It takes some maturity to balance this and avoid disrupting the project because you optimized non important stuff. I even had a strange lesson. In a team of three, the smartest did try to improve everything and never finished so his contributions were mostly wasted. While the weakest programmer, but one who would focus on solving some tickets in very low quality ways managed to feel less harmful to the team overall.
