Along those lines, Quincy and Bruce used to have a saying while they were mixing. One of them would turn to the other and say, "I think we're mixing past the money", which meant...okay, now we're no longer improving it...it was better a mix or two ago, and the mixing would stop.

"Mixing past the money" perfectly describes a feeling I often have while refactoring code. What a perfect phrase!
