Things I Learnt The Hard Way - People Get Upset About Code And Architecture Quality 'Cause They Care

At some point, you'll describe some solution/decision about some piece of code or some architectural design and people will seem annoyed/pissed about it. When people care about a product/code, they do that.

Or maybe you will get annoyed/pissed.

I think one of the nicest compliments I ever got was "You're annoying 'cause you care" when we left a meeting in which we decided to cut corners and do things halfway to beat some deadline -- or just 'cause people were not in the mood to do things in a more complete way.
