Getting it right the first time.
May 25th, 2003 byThis is more like a note to myself, or a small personal realizaton, than anything, but programming is different than climbing. The consequences of not getting something right the first time when programming are very different from not getting it right the first time while climbing. Carelessness effects you very differently. Strange that I never thought about this before. And even in photography, where the consequences of not getting something right the first time can be very rewarding.
