You have to be able to learn anything, fast and only do things the right way, the first time.

Doing things right the first time? When does that ever happen?

I guess if you design your code on paper first and write it all out by hand, calculate bottlenecks etc based on cpu timing manuals etc....

Most people take a more iterative approach afaik.
