I have been given a project to look at and refactor some existing functionality, and I am getting pressure from some quarters to 'get 'er done', but my preference is to really do it right.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362457302809176069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32881756.post-46029105670618322452008-12-04T22:21:00.000-05:002008-12-04T22:21:00.000-05:00Andy,Dr. Covey's book titled "7 habits of highly e...Andy,<BR/><BR/>Dr. Covey's book titled "7 habits of highly effective people".

Short term gain at the cost of long term pain is an ugly compromise far too many are happy to make. Ideally you can move on quickly, leaving your problems behind for others to clean up.
