    Yeah “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” is code for “if it isn’t completely awful don’t bother improving it”. That’s how you end up with everything being just on the verge of broken.

      yeah, that phrase grinds my gears. If you heard from a supposed professional that they only do the bare minimum to get a pass, you’d never hire their services. It’s at best disrespectful with your colleagues who give a shit and have standards.
