make it work
make it right
make it fast
These statements are often quoted when it comes to discussions between software developers about software performance. Some people tend to emphasize "make it work" and leave the "make it right" and "make it fast" to the maintenance guys.
The statements should not be understood as
"Make the WHOLE SYSTEM work"
"Make the WHOLE SYSTEM right"
"Make the WHOLE SYSTEM fast"
Rather, I'd like to see it as a continuous cycle which reflects the modern development iterations:
"Make the CLASS work"
"Make the CLASS right"
"Make the CLASS fast"
"Repeat with next CLASS"
