Hey! OP here. I definitely don't mean "good enough is good enough" as an excuse -- pushing for quality is extremely important.

My point was more about nitpicking line by line for perfection. What you're talking about sounds like a legitimate performance issue.

I think we're on the same page, but maybe my point wasn't clear enough. I tried to make it clear in my last point that "code is quality is important" but it's important not to confuse code quality with things that are more minor like idiosyncratic coding style.

Thanks for reading!
