They say chose 2. It's a lie.

Matches my own experience when working on software where quality matters, like large and long-running scientific projects: Even if there are tight time constraints, you won’t sacrifice quality, because that would make you slower.

    In my experience that attitude bites in under 6 months. I’m already wasting entire days sorting out messes that they neglected to deal with.

    That’s pretty much in line with what John Ousterhout writes. I think if you deal with multi-threading / locking / diszributed systems stuff, that time span is likely to be lower.
