Have you ever heard the phrase "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good"? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_t... Basically, don't give up on something that's good enough just because it's not perfect. I know a lot of really smart, talented people whose gifts & projects never see the light of day because they're waiting for that one moment where everything is perfect. There is no such thing as perfect. It's a moving target and you will never catch it. One of the things I love about code is that it's not written in stone - you can always go back and make changes, even after it's out there for everyone to see :)

seriously love this so much! Thank you! I can take that and put it to use. But what I love even more is the "moving target that you'll never catch". I think I am finally seeing the fun in letting my work be ever changing and being ok with feed back from others, even if it's not always nice. ha ha.
