Sounds like your definition of better is pretty narrow.

Quick and cheap are two of the three fabled: "Fast, cheap, and good: choose two"

"good" can take lots of different meanings. Generally though, I want as little code as I can get away with. A majority of code lifecycle cost isn't in writing it.

Are you perhaps missing the true message of that aphorism?

Or are you saying the industry is (because it is)

Huh? The word "better" is the comparative form of the adjective "good". Or did you misunderstand the comment you're replying to?

"more good" seems like a pretty decent definition of better to me. The words you are looking for are "cheaper" and "faster"

		In coding we usually change it to "cheap, fast or correct: choose two" I reject your correction: I present the options as nouns, not modifiers to the work. Maybe I should say "Cheap, Fast, or Good" as a compromise.
