Maintainability and cleanliness are not the best virtues code can have. Far more important are that it work correctly and quickly.

I agree that correctness is pretty essential (as in - actually does what it says, though something that's mostly correct is almost always the bar... most software doesn't need to be entirely correct). But I am confused about "quickly" do you mean dev time or execution time?
