Hot take: It's easy to forget that done is better than perfect
29 May 2026
In this moment:
Clare Norman
TWiQ — This Week in Quality
Inspired by Clare Norman's recent lightning learning sessions.
A speaker pulled out last minute so a developer stepped in to share what they've been working on.
While Clare pointed out that it's not much of a hot take that done is better than perfect, it's a hot take that it's easy to forget that done is better than perfect.
She reminded us that we could do with often reminding ourselves of this.
