Practice makes perfect. It's a tired adage, but it's absolutely true.

Practice makes perfect. It's a tired adage, but it's absolutely true.
- mscarborough 13y agoTrue, for sure. But then perfect is the enemy of good, which for anyone doing software should remember. Until a customer or someone important actually cares about that 2px off CSS, that refactor you want to do, or your caching/performance numbers, just don't do it. Wait till someone asks and then get after it. I love how OP put her work out there to prove her wide array of skills, or more important, her ability to learn random skills. Who else has put out 180 sites for public review? Awesome!!
- bennyg 13y agoI agree - but I don't think the statement semantically means perfection. It really means "practice makes greatness." Perfect just has a P.
- mscarborough 13y agoYes, you said it much more succinctly than I did.
- ckeck 13y agoTrue if you know what perfection is (be sure to have some guidance, mentors, etc)... Otherwise practice makes permanent in many cases. Just hope you're doing whatever it is right.
- outworlder 13y agoOnly if you are making an active effort to improve yourself.
