Code Is Never "Perfect", Code Is Only Ever "Good Enough"

I am a perfectionist. I know this, I accept it, and it still bites me in the ass. I want my code to be The Perfect Code, unbreakable, like a flawless diamond in a sea of cubic zirconium. I spend entirely too much time trying to cut that diamond from the rock it’s buried in. But is The Perfect Code even attainable, or should we just settle for “good enough?” That’s the question I’ve been wrestling with this week.

The Return of Dick and Bob
I’ve mentioned before that I often imagine having two awful sports announcers in my mind whose only goal in life is to subtly trash whatever I think or do or say. They’re pretty much my impostor syndrome given a voice, and lately they’ve decided to make an unwelcome resurgence into my daily life.
