I found following sentences regarding quality in Art of Agile Development while commuting to work this morning.

The best way I know to reduce the cost of writing software is to improve the internal quality of its code and design. I've never seen high quality on a well-managed project fail to repay its investment. It always reduces the cost of development in the short term as well as in the long term. On a successful XP project, there's an amazing feeling - the feeling of being absolutely safe to change absolutely anything without worry.

I wish more people were aware of this and acted accordingly. I have to make sure this happens at least at my present and future jobs.
