I agree that saving time for people is something, but I also think that a well written and optimised code is the best way. If you write something in a sloppy manor then later down the road that could cost more for the company in further upgrades due to elevating the scale of a program. I am of course new to programming and writing code (3 years). Well for example you have a web page that runs fine and dandy say using "wordpress" it helps a user to get a blog up fast. but then you have to "tweek" the hell out of it to handle a larger number of page views, this leads to more work. The same program can be written in a far more officiant manor. As a junior web developer I find that "bloated code" slows down things a fare bit. When you can do the same thing in 1 line of code as you can in 10 then why are you doing it in 10 ! In short I think that coders should do the best and most economical jobs they can, saving money and time, I mean rather than just saying "oh we will chuck another server at that and it will be ok". I might be wrong about this so please correct me if I am wrong.
