True - who can say ? Hard to argue with a WHOLE career that got "shit done" and WIDELY used by the world ?
Maybe THAT is the metric to focus on. The value of the code versus the quality ? I honestly don't know the answer ?
But I know how much of my "time and energy (as you get older you released the limiting step is your cognitive-energy not so much your actual wallclock-time) " I spent on "trying" todo code correctly which many times it means, the code doesn't get done and I end up frustrated by not shipping anything.
Working for a boss, the above used to upset me a bit. Now working for myself this REALLY upsets me and my 'income' :)
In these cases, I would DEF liked to have "Fabrice" getting shit-done-coding ability ? Again just my humble opinion :)
Maybe coding is like a marriage...
a) "You can be right or you can be happy :)"
Squinting hard enough:
b) "You can do things correctly or you can ship code in time that makes a difference ?"
I guess the "better" you are the closer the extremes are from "b". i.e IF you are the theoretical-best-coder-that-ever-lived there is should be no "distance/friction" between "coding correctly AND shipping on time code that has
an impact" ??
