Must. Stop. Tinkering.


Must. Stop. Tinkering.

    I'm a recovering perfectionist who writes software development requirements.  There is always some nuance or condition that I could spend time researching, interviewing users, holding meetings, and validating against industry practices.  However:  the fruits of such labor would serve no one if they are never complete.

    I began to regard requirements as less science, and more art: you will never finish any given piece, you simply stop working on it. Then your work can get on with the business of being useful or entertaining to its audience.  Because "Done" is better than "Perfect."

    Yep, all I'm doing is moving words around. At this point I'm not changing any mechanics or anything. I should password protect the document by closing my eyes and slapping the keyboard.

    According to Jared Sorensen & John Wick, "better" is the enemy of "done".
