There’s Always Another Piece of Art to Modify

Just because you demo your product or project to someone doesn't mean that you're done with it but sometimes you are indeed; that's the definition of "shipping".

As creatives, developers, makers, and artists at some point we have to let go of our art pieces and realize that our demo is indeed our FINAL demo; our MASTERPIECE…and we stop working on it. We ship it. We let it go.

There will always be more comments and more feedback on that thing but at some point we look the other way and move onto the next thing.

Think about De Vinci and the Mona Lisa, for example. At some point he surely said, "I'm done" and walked away. The feedback kept coming on it but he didn't look back and modify THAT piece of art; he modified others.
