Perfection is something I think a lot of people struggle with. It can be especially hard in our world where there is never really one "right" answer. There is always multiple ways to do things so, in some sense, perfection is never really attainable.
Wrapping my head around that when I started was hard. One of my goals early on was to open a PR that required no feedback. To me, that meant perfection. As I became more experienced, I realized that a PR that doesn't need feedback is not necessarily perfection. It probably just means it was a really simple PR 😉. I think all of my best work involved others in some way, shape, or form.
