I agree with the author more or less at least with respect to compromises between software quality and speed of execution. Code does not have to be perfect, especially when it doesn't affect the end user. On the other hand this is what I miss most about school, or perhaps just doing things out of my own interest. There was a time when I could appreciate the beauty of code and all I could worry about whether my software was elegant. Then I joined industry and everything changed.
