in thread what to do when you screw-up?
Some people advocate always writing the best quality code you can, at all times: this is a nice goal, but sometimes management won't let you do it. You have to respect this; sometimes your perception of the long term business risk won't match your employer's;
If only it were that easy. This is complicated by the fact that your reputation is created from the code you write. Even if it's management specifically tells you not to spend any time commenting/documenting/simplifying your code, its your reputation that is on the line when another programmer comes along and sees your name attached to the code.
Your own minimum standard needs to be maintained, even when doing the work for others.
