I now nominate the "I didn’t had much time, so I did everything the fastest way possible…" as the worst developer's excuse. Is there really any justification for this?

Shouldn't that be "The Developer's Worst Excuse"?

That's hardly the worst. Blaming other people for your incompetence is way higher than that.

LudoA, you're right, thank you for the correction.
jcblitz, I have to agree with you. :-)

Blatant nonsense. Every developer has the undeniable right to deliver bad work when given an unrealistic tight schedule. You can have it good, fast, or cheap. Choose any two!

What would you say is the relationship between tight/unrealistic deadlines and code quality? Something can't come from nothing - under a tight/unrealistic deadline features are cut and/or code quality suffers.

I think I didn't made myself clear with the article. I'm not criticizing those that have tight deadlines and are force to produce bad code.
The article is about those that use it as an excuse, when no heavy deadlines are upon them...
