Some minor changes in punctuation, usage, etc.

| Mar 12, 2019 at 19:44 | comment | added | Barmar | Is his solution really useless, or just not as good as you think it could have been? I've often been in situations where my boss quickly whips up a solution that's "good enough", because I've been too slow and too much of perfectionist. | |

| Mar 11, 2019 at 16:51 | comment | added | agentroadkill | @SouravGhosh added some context in the question. This is a small company so there is very little overhead or bureaucracy. I don't even really have requirements to meet, my job is "go make this work". | |
| Mar 11, 2019 at 16:50 | comment | added | agentroadkill | @Upper_Case there is fairly little overlap in our skillsets - I think the project was handed to me as a way to get it assigned to someone and to give me something to do that he could understand. I think your framing of "this is okay now, but there's work I need to do for the next part..." is probably correct. Could you turn that into an answer? | |

| Mar 11, 2019 at 16:01 | comment | added | Upper_Case | How much overlap is there in your and your boss' skills? Could you make the case that your boss' work product isn't suitable for the next phase you'll have to do (it's easier to make the case that the work doesn't meet your specific needs than that it was objectively worthless, even if the latter is the case). | |
| Mar 11, 2019 at 15:59 | comment | added | Sourav Ghosh | @agentroadkill Hey, can you please mention whether there were any documentations/ guidelines present or not? If yes, did your boss used them or chose to ignore? This will help me to improve my answer, thanks. | |
| Mar 11, 2019 at 15:51 | comment | added | Sourav Ghosh | @agentroadkill As it happens, I tried re-wording the answer to address the three points. | |

| Mar 11, 2019 at 15:31 | comment | added | Ben Barden | @agentroadkill yeah... we definitely need to know more about your boss's character and your relationship with him. Knowing which country this is wouldn't hurt. | |
