Good and Good Enough

As David Foster Wallace observed, “Mediocrity is contextual”. Not everything needs to be perfect, only the things that truly matter. No one should suffer for the sake of aesthetics. No ornament, flourish or embellishment has greater beauty than the simple elegance of intuitive functionality. Never let an extra feature undermine clarity of purpose. Pursue excellence selectively. Remember, the dog that chases two rabbits catches none and perfect is the enemy of done. Make the essential excellent and let the incidental be adequate.
