While I agree that the Ada community tends to be a bit more deliberative, there are some serious problems with the "shut up and hack" mindset.
One of my former co-workers had the ability to do VERY quick coding, very useful for the "we need a [temporary] fix NOW!"-solutions... but even though he was quick, he often applied superficial 'solutions', like suggesting that CSV could be handled with string-splitting on commas.
For a community that generally wants to "do the right thing" (real software engineering), I think it's a good thing to try to find out what the right thing IS.
