Re: What's more important optimisations or debugging?

I'm trying to get a feel for what people now consider more important,
optimisations or debugging ability. In the past with such tight memory
limits I would have said optimisations but now with expanded-memory
parts becoming cheaper I would think that debugging ability is more
important in a development tool. It's is not exactly a black and
white question, debug or smallused, but more a ratio. eg. 50% debug/
50% optimised or 70% debug/30% optimised, etc.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

1. Debug
2. Debug
3. Debug

If it's slow you will have a chance to fix it.
If it's broke most customer will have moved on.

But the choice is yours.
