> > Perfection is a waste of time...

Well, this is a cute thought, but it really hinges on your definition of
'perfection'. Is it code with no bugs? Or is it code that compiles correctly
and just might be accepted by the customer? Is it code that meets every
customer requirement? Is it code that can be upgraded in a modular fashion?
And so on.

In some applications you can let your customers find the obscure bugs but in
others that's not acceptable.

And to an engineer, perfection is attained by adding features and that has
to be contained.
