the point i was trying to convey with the phrases was my ideal attitude when writing code.

this code matters. lets think about it, get it done right and not throw it over the fence for the poor schmuck who comes along in two years time after we’ve all left.

i’ve been that schmuck. it was horrible. i don’t want to put other people through that. ever. (this is now my stuff, but hopefully explains some of the attitude).

our attitudes, intentions and motivations count when it comes to code quality. look after your code and it will look after you.

that’s what i feel. you feel different? that’s fine.
