If anything belongs in my “Doing Things Better” section, this does. I also think the timing of this comic to the creation of this section of my blog funny. I found this comic on XKCD today and it speaks volumes and is so true. The example problem is probably not a great one but nevertheless, doing the right thing and creating robust code is more cost efficient in the long run and will save you so many headaches over time.
