Perfect is the Enemy of Good Enough
“Perfect is the Enemy of Good Enough” is an old aphorism with origins that have been lost in time. As a long time manager of people (and, of course, myself), this old philosophical nugget has always been one of my favorites because it emphasizes “making progress” regardless of the situation. It and its permutations have served me well throughout my leadership career in the military and later in software engineering. Here are some others that may sound familiar to you.

Fake it until you make it.
Just do it.
Release early; release often.
The first two are common military phrases. You get the idea. Waiting for perfect conditions. Focusing on perfect results and process. All these things lead to stagnation and under-performance.
I am digressing a bit, but I wanted to point out that this kind of temperament is much needed in the religious world that is crypto and blockchain.
