&lt;p&gt;From my perspective, that’s the question I sometimes find myself asking. I think quite a few people &amp;ldquo;suffer&amp;rdquo; from perfectionism. Not in the sense that everything they touch ends up being perfect, but rather that they hold themselves to the standard of: &amp;ldquo;If I’m going to do something, it has to be perfect,&amp;rdquo; or they have expectations that are simply impossible to meet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I spend a lot of time thinking about this myself, especially in the context of software development. But here in particular, my theory is that approaching your own projects or ideas with this mindset actually hinders progress more than it helps.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Something with words</title><link>https://jimkompetent.de/en/posts/irgendwas_mit_worten/</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 00:58:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://jimkompetent.de/en/posts/irgendwas_mit_worten/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Something with words. That, or something like it, is the best way to describe what came to my mind.
A blog, in the broadest sense. Why in the broadest sense? Because I don&amp;rsquo;t really know myself yet what is going to happen here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a few ideas for some posts, but they are very diverse. I’ll have to wait and see what happens, just like you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;d like to start with the title of this first post.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
