Well, ok, lets call "bad architecture" bad code, at a larger scale. 
I still have some nightmares from a product I've worked on, was subsequently taken over by a newer guy for a few years, then he quit and it was handed back to me. Since that day I've disavowed ownership.

Let me, then, offer you an alternative quote:
"If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when will you find the time to do it again?"
Now, convolute that with your original quote, the hacks just make it work - they then hope to use someone elses time for the do-it-again part.

Aye, a good programmer IMHO is precisely one who takes the time and the effort to do it right the first time.

Quote: Excuse me? Are you trying to say that good developers are the ones who don't write any code on their own and simply nit-pick on formalities of other people's code?
Formalities has such a nice ring to it. Will call the steaming piles that I occasionally waddle trough a formality from now on.

And of course the missing piece in this analysis is the code that I clean up ... that I wrote myself.

That sounds like Trump, but I would not have thought that the Governator[^] would let him use his jokes. And no bonus points for literally firing the terrorists at other terrorists.

Shows how scientific YOU are !
Turn on the logical reasoning section of your brain.
Think back a hundred and fifty years or more.
People were doing garlic and ginger.
Now think of our modern day lifestyle and habits, which have removed nearly all vestiges of garlic and ginger.
Okay scientist, here's your question: Was jet lag more prevalent then, or now ?

To be honest, it doesn't really last long enough to go off, or even noticeably soft ... I like ginger, and use it in Indian, Indonesian, and Chinese food so storage isn't really a problem!

I'm guessing you've never had a Chinese/Thai takeaway?
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Definitely more prevalent then. Absolutely. Otherwise, why would they have thought up the remedy for jet-lag?

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.
