And I understand that too, but as anyone who's written production code and needed it done yesterday, those rules are rarely followed (at least at first). i would love to be able to take the time to follow them, trust me! I cringe every time a bandaid goes out, especially when I have the pager. But, when the time comes when I need to get something out the door or lose a customer, I may need to know how to do it "half-*ssed". Then later I can go back and fix it. That's all.
