I wish I could embed a Meme because I swear this post can be encapsulated in a Dilbert. Something or other to the effect of "We did a cost benefit analysis to see if cost benefit analysis are useful...we're confused and spent too much time and $ doing them that we don't have to to review the analysis. Great post.

Working as a Software Engineer in a startup-like organization, just out of graduation, with no support from senior engineers I feel it difficult to know when to stop thinking about perfecting my code. I believe that one can never learn a programming language completely, at least with Python. I keep reading the documentation to improve the code, even when I have a lot more work to do. I personally think it is important that my code is following the standards when the client team reads it, but searching about how it's supposed to be done and then improving is taking up too much time. How can I assess the progress and stop making up more work for me?
