Every hard problem gets a 90% working solution that's more than good enough for most companies.

I very much agree with your comment, but allow me a little nitpicking. Solutions aren't 90%, more like 50% or 20% or whatever. It may sound absurd to discuss a number there, since it's more like a way of speaking, just wanted to add that for most problems the solution is barely better than the default option.

In other words, there's still a lot of room for improvement, huge actually but, as you say, it might come in small pieces.
