I used to focus on be software and not on shipping it. Water a lot of time trying to get things to be perfect. But I wasted too much time that way. Worse yet, a lot of my design decisions were wrong. So I had to go back and redo stuff that could have been taken care of had I shipped earlier. Nowadays, I focus on shipping and iterating. It's better to fix it along the way than to stay paralyzed and never get anything done.

Agreed. It seems like the one of the biggest problems perfecting a product prior to shipping is - is the mindset. Placing the ship date ahead of time forces one to focus on the priorities instead of every tiny detail.
