It depends, if it has a bunch of nested loops and easily abstracted code but it works sure, who cares. If someone decides to store JSON as a string in the db that will work and deliver business value, but 8 months later when you want to query information in that JSON string you have a very difficult/dangerous migration due to someone just "making it work". This philosophy less relevant in larger companies with more engineers also.
