When you don't "feel like" changing a program correctly, but instead
choose to hack around it, it's time to freeze that program and go on to
something else.  Otherwise the program is facing a long period of
decay, and you'll find it takes more and more time to perform each
enhancement.

A lot of really bad code has had its origin in this sort of attitude.
