Ask HN: How do you deal with perfectionism in your work?
There&#x27;s something about programming that just brings out my inner perfectionist in force. The prospect of writing the perfect code is irresistible to that part of me and I get obsessive to a fault. I get impatient, I give myself a headache. Sometimes I experience anxiety just thinking about it. It doesn&#x27;t feel healthy and it doesn&#x27;t even always make for better work.<p>How do you focus on making something good instead of something perfect? How do you stop churning the code just because it could be a little bit better? How do you focus on the end product instead of on creating a flawless artifact?
