[Christ]

"Do it right the first time, you won't have to clean up the mess later."

Rings true for coding, as well.


"If you wish the ends, be the means." Also works here. In other words, if you want to use less bandwidth, learn to code more efficiently the first time around. In the long run, efficiently coding things regularly not only means less bandwidth used, but less of your time typing out, testing, and debugging all that filler code.
