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.
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.

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