The Myth of “Perfect Code”
In software development, chasing perfection can feel noble — but it’s often a trap.
Perfect code doesn’t exist.
Why? Because requirements evolve, technology changes, and real-world use always reveals things you didn’t anticipate.
Instead of polishing endlessly, focus on delivering a stable, functional MVP.
Your MVP gets you:
• Real feedback from actual users
• Validation (or invalidation) of your idea
• A faster path to market
• The ability to iterate based on facts, not assumptions
Every extra month spent “perfecting” is a month your users don’t get value, your competitors get ahead, and your momentum slows.
Ship a stable MVP.
Learn. Improve. Repeat.
Because in the real world, progress beats perfection — every time.

Sometimes the Puzzle 🧩 you solve in an interview is nothing like the day-to-day work on the job 💼. We’ve all seen the “𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗚𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗠 𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗦 🤯” that feel way over the top for the actual tasks ahead.
⏳ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗧? Plenty of talented developers with great practical skills never make it through because of overly technical screens.
✅ Let’s start matching our hiring process to the real work — focus on problem-solving, collaboration, and the tools we actually use.

Don't use the excuse of over-engineering to build confusing and cluttered code. Sometimes it's worth just creating solid architectures. Just use TDD so you don't get lost in the implementation and ensure a good delivery. #SoftwareEngineering #Laravel 
“Writing tests slows us down.”
This is a common argument — and in the short term, it can feel true.
But over time, teams that don’t write tests move slower:
• More regressions
• More hotfixes
• More blame
Tests aren’t just about catching bugs — they’re about building trust, clarity, and stability.
Testing is how you invest in sustainable delivery.
