- Animus7 15y agoI used to preach the same thing. Then, working at a startup taught me that it's not black and white. Several quotes come to mind, but Voltaire's is my favorite: "The perfect is the enemy of the good."
- bascule 15y agoHaving worked at startups with both cowboys with a "get 'er done" attitude and people who actually care about software craftsmanship, I'll take the latter any day. Cowboys may get things "done" quickly, but that doesn't help when things are subtly broken, have interoperability problems, or are nearly impossible to extend without breaking.
