Quoting Spolky regarding bugs and bug fixes? He has a horse in the game, I wouldn't quote him for anything bug-related.

Regarding bugs: a fast thinker always thinks about the consequences of checking in any code. Checking in code, not to mention releasing it, changes the word (in a very minor way but it still does). Not exploring the possible consequences and the alternative options is just negligence and/or lack of experience. You don't have to be a perfectionist to see this, you just have to be fast: finding a wise, balanced solution quickly every time you change the world.
