I remember being told the story of the two programmers. One was fast, a real code generating machine. Course he shipped with errors, lots of errors. He didn't document any of this code. But the bosses just loved the guy. Then there was the guy who was slow, but thorough. Part of that extra time was writing tests and doing lots of documentation. When he shipped there were never any errors, just send it to production. So when times got hard naturally it was the slow programmer who the bosses laid off.
