I agree with the premise. However, the whole world runs on sloppy, inelegant, and downright ugly code. I strive to write pretty code but the truth is it doesn't matter that much. Just getting it done and out the door counts for so much more.
- mattdeboard 15y agoJust getting it done and out the door counts for so much more right now. It matters far less in a day, week, month or year when you or the next guy has to maintain it. Though now that I reflect for a second I have to acknowledge that it's all that matters to the stakeholders, and not necessarily to the coders (nor future maintainers).
