Independent Development
Try not to be a Perfectionist
Usually it is not a big deal. But if working as a freelancer, or working independently, going too far on the way of perfectionist is fatal.
I am kind of like that, which means I don’t like to do things that are not perfect.
- My handwriting is terrible, so I don’t like to write things on paper, even if I did, I don’t like to read them again.
- I try to do everything according to the instructions while cooking.
- I don’t know how to design UI and set beautiful colors, so I like to write the codes that cannot be seen, like the business code. Once I saw my – UI, I kind of lost the passion to continue. And I have strong will to learn designing.
- If my project has some bugs or unfinished features, I trend to delay it to finish.
- I usually have new thoughts about my projects during the development, and would try to put them all in, which means deviation from plan, and leads to delay.
- …
But NOTHING IS PERFECT.
Especially while working independently, it is almost impossible to solve every problem.
So I (and my wife) keep telling myself to avoid that.

独立开发
不要做完美主义者
通常来说问题都不大，不过如果是做自由职业者或者独立开发，过于完美主义非常致命。
我有一点这个倾向，结果就是我倾向于只做能做到完美的事情。
- 比如，我写字很难看，所以我倾向于不写字，即使写了之后也不愿意看。
- 比如，我在做菜的时候，倾向于完全按照说明来做。
- 比如，我不知道怎么设计UI，也不知道如何配色，所以我喜欢编写后台代码。一旦我看到自己做的产品界面不好看，我就有点没动力继续做了。而且我还很想学设计……
- 比如，如果我的项目有bug或者有没完成的功能，我常常会delay，尽量去完成。
- 比如，我在开发过程中常常会想到一些新点子，然后就会不自觉地要把它们加进去，这就会偏离计划，造成delay。
- ……
但是没有什么是完美的。
尤其是在做自由职业者或者独立开发的时候，总有些东西是可以改进的。
所以我（还有我妻子）一直要提醒我自己注意这一点。
