Excellent observations

A lot of good observations here - go look at all of them. I'll quote the three I liked best:

  • Bad code without bugs beats good code with bugs.
  • Shipping code with bugs beats non-shipping code without bugs.
  • Write code for clarity rather than speed. Please. More problems are caused by complicated code and than "inefficient" code.

Very good things to keep in mind on any project...

"shipping code with bugs beats non-shipping code without bugs". There is a point of diminishing return on bug-swatting, and we don't need six sigma quality in many applications. But don't bugs *always* reduce the value of the software?
