A Second Class Ride is better than a First Class Walk

This was a favorite saying of my old grandad.  He didn't drive and was pleased to get any sort of ride if it avoided a long walk.

We can apply the same principle to Engineering Decisions.
Sometimes there is a need to be pragmatic.  Whilst we generally strive for the perfect Engineering solution, life is not always perfect and particularly in business.  There are many times when accepting a lesser solution may get a workable result verses holding out for the perfect solution which may not get a result at all
