As usual, Matthias is correct.

As I was typing the original sentence, I had the thought "TCO isn't the 
right term", but I was lazy or trying to suppress my novella tendencies, 
so hit Send.  "TCO" might still be a good search term to complement 
"proper", for anyone who wants to read up on the evolution of thinking, 
from back when algorithm implementation was emphasized more.  It's among 
developer skills that sometimes are very important, but are currently 
undervalued, when most of the software development industry chatter we 
hear concerns the large volume of commodity clerical work for which 
employers are currently paying good wages.
