196Alright, just produced a baby, will think about how to raise it right later
I've gotten so much farther in my projects by saying "screw it, I can come back to that later" than I have in the past.
I'm now at a point where I could probably release an alpha version of my game, which is very exciting.
alright FINE, fuck
ur right and i hate it.
the unfinished thing already exists in my hands but no one else can have it yet because its not good yet.
bzt ur right. it has to be out there with a website to point to... to make it be a thing.
so instead of "im cooking trust me bro" it becomes "im working on this in particular Abd peeps have an idea of what's going on.
also makes it easier to talk about.
you win. (imagine this being said on the blast processing voice)
This, but clearing Peggle levels
Did technical debt write this?
But I will lose interest later! I must do it right the first or . . . whatever I can’t be bothered finishing this comme

You can do it!
The way I look at it is: perfection is a scale. 80% perfect is on the perfect spectrum. If they can't all be perfect, hopefully the next one is more perfect.
Thanks, gonna apply this to all my software projects.
Who needs a GUI anyways? The users will just learn the commands to enter into the terminal.
Yeah who needs a proper TUI either, ncurses is so overrated
Seems like the AI techbros are way ahead of you on that one.
In other areas it's the Minimum Viable Product. Good is optional.
Existing is better than not, minimum viable or otherwise

Ah, but if it's bad enough the Internet will remember it forever:

To be fair, it already existed
later, she made it better
It definitely drove a lot of tourist to visit her town, so that's a win
Thats what god thought when making people.

I love it but also realize that too often, this is also my manager's suggestion.
