True, but sometimes these 10 minutes help you to discover something new that will improve your code.

I had a few of these cases in my life:

- discovering optimized patterns in Perl, which led to code I could not understand the next day

- discovering decorators in Python, which led to better code

- discovering comprehensions in Python (a magical thing) that led to better code, except when I wanted to be too clever and ended up with Perl-like code
