Solving problems. Business or otherwise.
Perfect code that doesn't solve the problem is useless. Perfect metrics that don't serve the user are a distraction.

Or as Ward Cunningham said on the world's first ever wiki:
- Make it work
- Make it right
- Make it fast
In that order. A fast program that isn't right, useless. A perfect program that doesn't work, useless. A fast program that doesn't work ... impressive. But useless.
Happy weekend ❤️
