It's curious how, when I try software made by others, I always feel like I'm experiencing something clean and well done.
When I try my own, it always feels like I haven't done enough.

@stefano it's because you know all of the imperfections in your software that someone else wouldn't notice

@clf yes, probably. And I’m quite merciless when I judge my own work

@stefano most good programmers are very hard on their own work! You can replace programmers by artists. The meaning of art is to seek perfection, as by your own definition of perfection.

@stefano I can recommend some software to disabuse you of this idea.

First up: Jira! 😜
