I'm happy when I meet all the requirements and move on
to something else. If the requirements are that it
fit in 3K and execute in 10 milliseconds, I am not happy
to be spending time making it fit in 2K or execute
in 5 milliseconds. That's time that could be spent
meeting additional requirements.
To put it another way, I don't get a lot of pleasure
fixing something that's not broken.
(On the other hand, I have a fairly broad definition
of 'broken')
