I think if you get into a good rhythm and are familiar with the problem at hand, you no longer really have to make that tradeoff (not that I can achieve this consistently)

Ben Halpern, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

To comment on your thought, humans tend to get attracted towards instant gratification rather than the process of working harder/longer for greater good and I think this will make people make the tradeoff and that's why I recommend my controlling the urge to make the tradeoff.

Yeah. But it gets complicated when there are whole teams, expectations, ignorances, etc.

And that's when coding conventions help writing clean code irrespective of team size.
