I guess i'm a 'right thing' developer.
I'm sure there are multiple constraints besides economic viability that could drive you to seek the 'right thing.'
I've noticed there are two types of developers: those that find fighting fires rewarding and enjoy the accolades that come with 'saving the day' and those that find fighting fires punishing, and that perceive requests to fix code in a hurry to be an intrusion.
I'm going to call them 'extrovert' and 'introvert' programmers.
I am an introvert programmer, and for me the 'right thing' has always meant code that I can put in production and forget about.
I also believe that introverts are in the minority, which means that when on a team introverts have to fight fires along with all the extroverts, even though their own code runs mostly without incident.
