To go along the same line of thought, too many think about the beatuy of the flower, instead of the whole florest.

The amount of hours occasionally wasted discussing this in PR, that add zero value to what the customer actually cares, e.g. does pressing the button print or not their monthly invoice.

Sure there is a balance to be had between completly unmaintainable code, and a piece of art to expose in the Louvre, however too many focus on the latter, instead of what is the customer getting out of their beautiful flower.
