For my employer, this is the most important question of the 3, and the answer is A every time.
- wccrawford 9y agoI guess the answer would depend on how many errors you have in the first place. If you have a ton of errors, B is going to be more important. If you have relatively few, then A is going to be a lot better. My employer would probably pick A, too. But there's a hidden side to this: If it's that much easier to code quickly, it's probably easier to understand the code as well. Which means fixing bugs is faster as well. At least, in my experience.
