Well.... You get what you pay for, If it's (the project) a throw away thing... whatever. If you are building something you 'might' seriously use then build it seriously.
Kludge construction is just that and no more. Would you be proud to put your name on it?
I guess it's about what you think of your Name as that will direct how you approach and solve a given situation. Personally if it is worth spending time doing something is it worth doing right or you will do it over till it is right. Every action has consequences.
