If you tell me a programmer wrote a thing in a month, and another programmer wrote a similar thing in a year, I'd assume the 1 month project is easier to understand and work with.
Fast programmers writes most shitty code, yes, but that is because fast programmers writes most code period. I have seen nothing to suggest that an average slow programmer actually produces quality code when given the time, it seems to be the opposite, most slow programmers have terrible mental models and create even bigger messes if you give them the time to do it.
Are there slow programmers who produce quality code? Yes, but in my experience those are the exception and are even rarer than fast programmers who produce quality code.
