boosh.

don't worry about it.

You become what you practice

It's easy to get caught prototyping with inline styles, a few extra presentational tags, and inklings of onclick on every couple of elements to get your behavior just right.

You become what you practice

It's even easier to just get the job done and rush things together. Slap on that high pass filter, drop the 'star' html, and throw in a few <br /> tags while you're at it (just enough where it's not too noticeable).

You become what you practice

You've justified that it's only one table to hold together those three columns. It's much better than the old layout afterall, right? Nobody is going to notice anyway.

You become what you practice

There's a release date afterall. We gotta drop this project off to QA. We don't have time. Just release it because it's good enough. We've done this before...and we'll do it again...you become what you practice
