The psychological portrait of a programmer

translation from http://www.alvosoft.com/itlife/

People say: «If you do something quickly, but bad, no one will remember what you did so quickly. All people say will be that you did a bad thing.   If you are doing something slowly but well, then no one will remember how slow it was.   But then people say you did it well ».

  • The fast and well.
  • Quickly and poorly.
  • Slowly and well.
  • Slowly and poorly.
