I wonder sometimes whether I am excessively correct about my approach to my work. After years of experience, I believe it is much faster for me to do things correctly.
Do it right up front, and making adjustments later does not make you want to rip people's limbs off.
I'm convinced of it, but is that just the obsessive-compulsiveness talking?
For example, I refuse to update code that isn't formatted correctly. Unused imports bug the hell out of me. Missing javadoc, doctypes. I must fix them.
Sometimes its only a few keystrokes of effort (Cntrl-Shift-F or O), but sometimes it's a lot more. Many people I work with seem to be quite OK with misaligned braces.
I can only hope that those who come after me appreciate alignment ;)
