English term or phrase: getting it right

In the past two years, 3200 developers have contributed at least one patch, with half contributing two or more, one quarter contributing three or more, and so on, in a nice "long tail" exponential curve. Every patch will have at least one author and one reviewer. "It is a web of trust. Linus trusts 10 to 15 people, I trust 10 to 15 people," Kroah-Hartman said. "I trust that they'll be around to fix the problem. And that's more important than {getting it right} in the first place."

不出问题

Explanation:
这里比较两件事，一开始就不出问题，或少出问题；二是一旦出了问题能够顺利解决。这两点对软件开发来讲都是很重要的。但作者认为后者比前者更重要。我理解这里“get it right” 的意思不是解决问题，而是把事情做好不出纰漏。放在这里的上下文中，建议从反面表达为“不出问题”，“问题”二字和前句有所照应，意思更明白些。

参考译文：

“我坚信有他们在出了问题定会得到解决。这种信任比一开始就努力不出问题还要重要。”
