I want this code to be something you'd be willing to hang on your grandmother's refrigerator. I want it to be high quality.

I was with a team the other day, and the manager of the team said to them: "I want this code to be something you'd be willing to hang on your grandmother's refrigerator. I want it to be high quality. Remember, two years from now all people will see is the mess, they won't see how fast you got it done. Nobody remembers the speed, they only remember the mess. So do it right". The programmers looked at him skeptically. Their boss just told them to go well, instead of going fast, and they didn't believe him. What does it take?

Take my advice: go well, not fast. Care about your code. Take the time to do things right. In software, slow and steady wins the race; and speed kills.
