Ask HN: How Do You Deal with Perfectionism in Coding?
I have reached a point where the perfectionism is hindering my ability to finish projects on time, learn new materials &#x2F; technologies, and enjoy programming in general.<p>A good example is the recent release of Advent of Code, I decided to take up the challenge, I spent way too much time trying to figure out idiomatic &#x2F; pythonic ways to solve a for loop &#x2F; opening a file for example, whereas I could of easily spent solving the problem itself.<p>Most of the time when I don&#x27;t reach a perfect solution I just leave working on the project altogether.<p>Am I the only one dealing with this? Do you have any recommendations to overcome such a bad habit?<p>P.S: I am not medically diagnosed as a person with OCD, IRL I am a simple messy guy, this habit just exists in coding.
