“Perfection is the enemy of completion” is a bastardization of a translation of the first line of a poem by Voltaire. That makes the saying itself sort of an example of what Voltaire was talking about — but it doesn’t make it any less true.

At a certain point, though, striving for perfection isn’t such a bad thing.
