Not necessarily, great engineers do also ship temporary code they didn't have the time to trim.

Our process is of 1) make it work, 2) make it right and 3) make it fast; not necessarily that engineer had time for the 3rd step.

The older I get, the more I feel that #3 should be "make it work well". Where the definition of "well" can be situationally interpreted.
