Episode 199: How to Build Tech Without Chasing Perfection
24 Dec 2025
Trying to build things perfectly is often what stops them from working at all. In this episode of CTO Confessions, Stephen Cope, CIO at Astrak, shares why aiming for 80% is usually more than enough — and how letting go of perfection helps teams move faster, learn sooner, and build technology that actually gets used. Stephen brings a thoughtful, grounded perspective shaped by years of leading real change, from navigating self-doubt to introducing AI in ways that support people instead of overwhelming them. This is a warm, honest conversation about progress, simplicity, and why your people matter far more than any tech stack ever will.
