I have such little patience for the whole fucking “let’s just do it later” mentality anymore. Especially when it takes like 30 minutes or less to fix. Then a month goes by and everyone suffers from it not being fixed. Like I understand why they do so and why it’s important to just do the task. I understand there’s often no time to make huge improvements, but if you have time and you see a small thing that can be fixed, make improvements you silly little bump-on-a-log. Like have a little empathy for your comrades goddamnit.

    "Hey, the client wants to have a call about a small change before delivery"

    "Let's just do it later"

    I call it the 75 % rule.

    Either do a job fully or leave it as it is.

    It always ends badly to do a job only up to 75 % and then leave it unfinished.

    Badly in the sense of "exponential more work later that could have been prevented".

    Just do it once properly
