No-one ever told me but myself. That's why I would tell my younger self that if I could with the hope it would stick long-term. I mean, in any other field (which we shouldn't compare to, but what else can we do that makes it sound as insane is it really is?) do you get something like; 'let's make an emergency bridge out of two planks over this bit of highway because the real bridge has been flooded' and then 25 years later people are still driving over those planks causing traffic jams and accidents (we have to ducktape those planks all the time)? If I write something that is just to keep something running 'for a couple of days' and then ends up being part of a backbone for a company (because it ain't broken, so why replace it?) is something I could not expect but there are at least 50+ 'blobs of software' out there by me where exactly that happened over the decades.
