I swear this is the moto of engineers in general.

My motto is "if it ain't broke, keep fixing it 'til it is".

There is a very old joke I heard as a kid. It goes to a normal person if it's not broken don't fix it. To an engineer if it's not broken, it doesn't have enough features yet.

Anyone can design a bridge that stands. It takes an engineer to design a bridge that barely stands.
