legacy software or shit software? The two are not the same. So be clear with your statement, to circle it back to your intro, you're the creator of the _shit software_ -- right? That's what this is about? See how difficult it is to admit it. You couldn't even do it and you're writing the blog post about it. The ego is strong. But, I guess you're on the path towards this acceptance, you kinda semi-admitted to it. You have much more work to do but one day you'll finally understand this distinction and it'll be good for you and all the folks that have to maintain your shit. Keep improving your critical thinking and software engineering skills. The buck ends up with you. It's your choice what you produce and your standard of excellence. And you know what, it may be the case that the sooner you become a manager the better for everyone. That may also be a tough pill to swallow but fear not, you'll be happier... and also some content for a future blog post!
