Onur Cobanli explains:
Incremental improvements often prove more effective than seeking immediate perfection. Small, consistent enhancements can transform poor design into excellence over time, making the journey toward better design more achievable. Note that I have another quote very similar, where I stated Cure for bad design is good design, to be honest, I think cure for bad design is better design may hold a stronger truth. Here the nuance is that it is not a direct replacement (already good design) that makes it better, but by something slightly better (better design) makes a difference, especially over time multiple gradual changes can indeed make a bad design good, and a good design even better.
