Welcome to reality Bearophile!!!

In real projects people do the job as best as they can at the 
moment, and they probably, and with right, do not care what 
people who only theorise, criticise, and philosophise think! You 
write perfect code?! I doubt! And if you do, you will probably 
never finish any serious project in time!
