Don't hurry your code. Make sure it works well and is well designed. Don't worry about timing.

Turtles are very stable and have been around forever. But they have problems adapting. When humans came along, turtles came under serious threat. Biodiversity is good, and I think it is good in technology as well.

Excusing bad programming is a shooting offence, no matter what the circumstances.
