That might not even be bad. As we both know, striving for excellence is its own reward, quite often its only reward.
But it is a reward. You know, as I do, the joy of making.
I suspect that that joy, and the joy of sharing, of once in a while sparking someone ... might be what it's all about.
Mediocre works. It has to work. It's a fundamental law of complex systems (that I just identified).

@RonJeffries@mastodon.social @GeePawHill@mastodon.social “Mediocre works” is, I suspect, an element of the truism “Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets”.
And if the results the system gets through mediocrity are good enough…boom 💥
Which is precisely the reason LLMs might just succeed in killling off software development-they might be “good enough” mediocre.
Which I find depressing as hell having strived to raise the bar and make a difference my entire career.
