I've been running into the same sort of tradeoff decisions the past year too. Useful today > better tomorrow. Build in layers of trust and feedback, so that when it's time to improve it, you actually get back to it.

Oddly enough the advice that did it for me was “salary time” as in “is this worth perfecting given the salary time I’ll invest” If it’s a couple of days thing or something that will save someone else headache and their future salary time then I do it.

Right and you should never optimize something ahead of time. Get it functional first and then benchmark it to see if it's performance is acceptable. For example a bug I triaged today in a native kotlin app tried to save an API response into the app shared preferences for speed.
