Using "perfect" as a verb ("to make progressively more perfect") rather than an adjective ("flawless").

> In software development, "perfect" is a verb, not an adjective. There is no perfect process. There is no perfect [design](https://wiki.g15e.com/en/pages/Design.txt). There are no perfect stories.
