It's strange how often this article gets posted to hn. I have no idea what the appeal is but neither did I get it the last 6 or so times it was posted.
is it not do anything well? so try doing a few good things?
I will do the good things well.
also I read "Don't let the great be the enemy of the good"
etc.
But sometimes you have to stop doing a lot of small good things to do great things.
are the good things part of a great thing? or are they merely distractions?
It seems perfectionism is a fault, but really the perfectionists are the ones we read about in the history books.

I realize your point was a different one about how many times the link gets submitted, but on HN, reposts are allowed unless the thread has had significant attention in the last year or so. A few submissions over a few years, involving one major thread, isn't excessive!
(1) the previous submission is 8 hours old or less; or
(2) the previous submission is less than a year (or so) old and got significant attention.
You shouldn't get redirected to a submission that is a few months old and didn't get many upvotes or comments. If the latter is what you're seeing, it might be a bug. Do you remember the link?
