"Writing software quickly is much more important than writing it well" You should mean: "Figuring out if people will use your product/idea is much more important than programming it" At this point in my life I can implement a well-programmed solution much more quickly than spaghetti code. Additionally I'd rather be proud of my work considering 99% of the time I will be failing at creating a successful product. If you care that little about programming then find someone to do it for you, but if you are actually a developer then I don't understand this haphazard approach. But then I suppose people are naturally lazy. If you are coding as a means to an end, then by all means spaghetti code, but if you are actually coding because you like to code and subsequently like to create, then for the love of God take pride in what you do! This Black or White approach just does not make any sense in today's technical world.
