Well, the coin has two sides. People that have the same mindset, appreciate when someone strives for perfection and creates somethimg really good. But i learning to be fine with 97% was very valuable too i think. It can get problematic when stuff needs to be delivered fast though. Finding the right niche is key i guess.

Most people seem to be content with good enough and that is fine too. Diversity makes it fun somehow, there would be way less to discover and learn if we were all alike.

Maybe striving for greatness instead of perfection might be a way?

P.S.: Bookmarked your stuff last time you commented about testing harnesses and stuff. Haven't done iOS work in years and may never need it. I treasure a work ethic like yours, keep it up.

Thanks so much!

It's a labor of love, and I feel that makes all the difference. I like to think of what I do as a "craft."

You are more than welcome.

That is a great mindset IMHO, it makes a huge difference when you pour love into your work.
