While I play instruments and sing (I know I am a DP and I know that this is often a biased claim), I do not consider myself as someone who “makes music”. However, I still relate to this article because I am always that person who exhausts a minor detail to its limit. And in the end, no one ends up ever noticing it but me. I hesistate to call this a flaw because my joy and satisfaction in what I do lies in the details. When I think back on what I have done, it is not the scope of my designs that makes me proud; it’s the details. I know that this article was not written with the intention of shaming attention to detail, but I just had to say all of that because I feel like asking myself the question “Is this going to matter to someone [seeing] this [piece] for the first time?” could get dangerous.
