Shipped or not

Art is never finished; it either gets shipped or abandoned.

Shipping brings with it an inherent invitation to make future versions better.

Is this one good? Does it meet the intended spec?

Will it serve those it’s intended for?

That’s good enough, for now.

Can it be better? Definitely. But better is often the cloak we hide behind when trying to build something perfect.

Perfect isn’t the goal. It never will be.

Substitute art for building a career, or a business, or a project, writing code, leading teams, or everything in between.
