That’s not a problem that needed solving

This is a re-post of something I’ve shared before, but it comes up so often in software development that it’s worth mentioning again.

It’s important to be aware of the relative importance of everything you’re working on. If something doesn’t add value, why are you working on it? If you’re working on trying to fix something that doesn’t need fixing, why are you spending some looking for a solution?

Don’t waste time trying to fix things that are not broken.
