Do slower programmers get there faster?

When it comes to successful software, does it pay to have fast coders? Or does slow and steady always win the race?

I found that those who can keep calm while solving urgent problems will give a much stable solution, while those who rush into the work-field will introduce a new bug with every one solved...

There's so much truth in your words... my 2 cents are that I'm a slow programmer, and my colleague-boss makes me write/rewrite the code foundations and the standard releases, while he is a fast coder and makes the tens of quick customization required day-by-day. We are achieving much more now... Luckily I can be a fast coder too to cover his occasional absences :-D

...*a* new bug?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

So you're a tribal programmer: 0, 1, OverflowException?
