I have not been happy lately. I just recently started a new job, one that I really should have thought about twice before taking. While expressing my unhappiness with the man, he explained that they pick Fast and Cheap over any other combination that included Good anyday. Well, that just don't compute in my head.

Now I do have to admit they when they say they will deliver something in 3 weeks, they get it done in two. May not look pretty, but they get it done.

This relates back to Why do monks put up with it? by Ovid, by the way. I thought very long and hard about what everbody had to say on the subject, and I think one of mdillion's responses really hit home with me - it made me realize that reality is what we make of it. I happen to believe in code as an art form, if that means I don't make the big bucks, then so be it. I can still make a living.

Good, Fast, Cheap - pick any two.
So, what would you pick?

In reply to Good, Fast, Cheap: pick the last two or get out! by jeffa
