Even in cases where I could get away with doing maintainable code by working nights and weekends, I sometimes cannot justify it to myself. Why spend three weeks doing it right, when I could spend a week doing it wrong, and I am confident theyll end up being satisfied with what they get and never ask for more than a couple of minor tweaks every now and then? I just feel like I am ripping them off if I do it right.

Which is moot anyway because the bosses always bid in such a way that the wrong way is the only possible way to do it

I didn't last long in jobs like that. FInally found that in Medical-related fields, if you can't do it right then it doesn't get done... Never been happier :0)
