Certainly work that has deadlines requires a good enough approach at some point. I like your perspective of putting good enough work out there for others as a jumping off point.

When is good enough, good enough?

There's also "Done is better than perfect." That's an important lesson too, when you're doing work that actually needs to be finished at some point.

I'm a major "good enough" person, which is one of the reasons I like collaborating. My "good enough" can work as a starting point to build off of for others. 

Partly, this is because I take a very iterative approach to things. I like to get something done and then submit it for feedback, which gives me a new set of things to make "good enough". Eventually, with any luck, we end up with something that's legitimately good.
