One of my challenges is that I often end up burning tokens trying to build the right solution rather than building a solution that is good enough and deferring the right choices until later. I have been actively working to change my expectations for building with AI to accept worse solutions to get things going rather than trying to solve everything at launch.
This has been a recurring problem for me - as a security engineer catasrophization is a fundamental skill to finding vulnerabilities in complex systems, but makes me to conservative when building. For some of my leaders they are much better at saying 'good enough, ship it, and fix it later'.
