There are times, Leah, when I suspect "paid by the hour"  is bit too high on an 
employee/contractor's list of  "design criteria."  I 
never went beyond the suspicion stage because I was afraid if I looked I'd find 
I was correct.

Then again, I started in an era when no one put the words "Programmer" and 
"Professional" in the same sentence. (sadly, accurately 
so).

Design Criteria for Computer Software:

1. Must Work Correctly.
2. Must Work relatively efficiently
3. Must Be Maintainable.

When trading off - as we all must -  I'll willingly sacrifice a little speed or 
disk/memory use (#2)  for *either* of the other two.
