Not exactly the same thing, but this does remind me of a quote from I'm Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59:
"I didn't trust Larry and Sergey as coders," said Craig Silverstein. "I had to deal with their legacy code from the Stanford days and it had a lot of problems. They're research coders: more interested in writing code that works than code that's maintainable." According to Jeff, one of the quirks in the early Stanford version of Google was that when something unusual happened the program would print out an error message without any explanation. The message read simply, "Whoa, horsey!"
- aangjie 15y ago7 years ago i would have called myself similar.Though i was just graduating and could have hardly called it research. But 3 years working in the industry with Big blue and i see i have got OCD with maintainability. Heck, i wouldn't even have noticed, if i hadn't quit and went to do a master's. But 4 years since, and i still haven't quite undone the OCD, mitigated yes, but not back to the get shit done passion....I keep working on it...so, i will qualify that 6 months to start a startup, with something about the type of product you aim to build. - May be something along the lines of the impact you expect to make with it.
