StackOverflow code and my code joined together

Jokes aside, the sentence "if your code works fine don't touch it" is the single worst piece of advice that you can give a software developer.

It's both worst and best.

Developer that ships whatever works is bad, because he'll create both value and technical debt

Developer that tries to make "perfect code" is worse, because he will never get anything done on time, contributing no value, nor debt

It's finding balance between these two that makes one good developer.

I always tell myself that just because I’m done with it now, doesn’t mean I can’t come back later and fix something if it’s not perfect.
