That's a great saying. And your service is appreciated by this old-timer.

OT: Many years ago I used to give a test to interviewees. It was a single sheet of paper with an insertion sort coded in C. It's among the simplest of algorithms that any competent programmer could write/debug it in their sleep.

The catch was that the code was completely correct but I misspelled "lose/loose" in a comment line. The instructions were simply to "find the error".

Sounds dickish but I believed deeply that "polish" was the common denominator among those who were professionals and wrote truly successful code, and those that just hacked. Every candidate that caught the misspelling proved to be in the former category.

As a (rough) corollary, accuracy produces speed in any successful project.
