Early in my career I would say I was more of a creative perfectionist. Now I'm a pragmatist. Some people might think I've become jaded, but I don't think so and in fact I see the change as very positive and freeing. Let's just do it - you're never going to achieve perfection because your ideal of perfection is continually changing. The pragmatic approach lets you get stuff done and know that it works. You get to work and get good results. It's really a nice way to work.
