Someone linked me here asking me how I can write good quality code so fast so I thought I would come and drop a comment just in case other people read this and fall prey to the "HN must be true" virus.

I have no idea if I write code better or faster than other people. Maybe I do, but I always think that I don't write very good code most of the time so I have to be extra careful. I spent a lot of time writing code very slowly and being extra careful so that I could make sure it's good quality. I guess after focusing on quality for so long I just got faster at it compared to others. But, I'm going to guess that I actually am not much faster than other people.
