Heard a senior dev say 'the best code is the code you don't write' during a meeting
It made me stop adding 'nice to have' features and just focus on the main task. Has anyone else had a simple quote change how they approach their work?

Watched a buddy refactor a whole feature down to basically nothing after his lead said "perfection is the enemy of good enough." He saved a week of work and the thing runs faster now. That phrase really stuck with him.

Your buddy's story is a good example, @michael880. Sometimes the extra code we write is just us fighting the compiler, not helping it.
