This is maybe just me, but I need to remind myself of the opposite: All solutions are temporary and imperfect. So just do something, I can always go back and correct it.
For me this means that I'm allowed to store away 3 things from the moving box, even though I don't know where to put the rest yet. To invite others even though I don't know what to cook yet or to write a bad implementation quickly, instead of spending hours figuring out the best one.
I think a balance of perfectionism and can-do is important. But as people are predisposed differently, either advice might make sense in different circumstances.

This is a very good point. Life is a balancing act. Different people may need the opposite advice. Or you may need the opposite advice at different times. Not just in this case, but in life in general.
I actually did not mean the post as a call to perfection/action but I can see why it could be seen as such. You can have a temporary solution that is good-enough for its purpose at a time. I advocate for the conscious effort to evaluate your intention so that you can feel a sense of agency around whatever happens afterwards because you are more likely to lose context, and the initial intention, as time passes.
