I program slower so that I am more productive. The cheap hack can be fast but it quickly becomes technical debt. The fix is already in, so don't fix anything -- maybe refactor. How do you eat an elephant? One byte at a time.
I am still building the authentication system for a web application. It took me half a day and there are bugs, many bugs -- they don't show up, but I know they are there. It should have taken me AT LEAST four days. Speed is relative. I bet you do some things incredibly fast without realizing.
On the other hand, we have yet to build the hundred year language. Some say it will take a hundred years! Others say it is JavaScript and it will be around for a hundred years. I am building my own one hundred year language. It is a programming language/tool/paradigm to allow me to still program when I am one hundred years old -- I call it the hundred year language.
