My lead dev told me to stop optimizing everything on day 1
I used to spend hours trying to make my beginner code as efficient as possible before moving on. My senior dev at my internship finally said 'stop trying to make perfect code, just make working code first.' I changed my approach to getting a basic version running before worrying about speed or memory. Has anyone else had to unlearn a habit that actually slowed you down?

stop trying to make perfect code" is really solid advice honestly... I mean it's not like you're building a rocket ship control system on day one lol. Just get it working and fix stuff as you go, that's how most people do it anyway.
