Show Notes

In this episode, we explore why quality is not the same as perfection—and why striving for the latter too early can derail your product, your team, and your goals.

Adrian shares insights from over two decades in software development, highlighting the common trap of aiming for an undefined version of “perfect” rather than defining and hitting achievable quality goals. Through personal anecdotes and thought-provoking observations, he explains how teams fall into overengineering or underengineering when quality isn’t clearly defined from the start.
