Either you have or don’t and it’s not a one time thing
Very few ‘might’ have this from childhood
But many acquire it over time and with practice
Excellence can be a potent driving force behind software quality
Once a culture of excellence is established, then the ride becomes a lot more fun

This is all very true and it goes without saying that we should all strive for excellence in everything we do.
But mere excellence is not enough…
Too often in our work lives, what we do and the consequences of that are subject to business decisions taken far higher up the decision chain from our work. And those decisions will not bear any relation to how excellent we may or may not be at doing our work.
