I would say as an indie hacker, clean code, comments and good commit messages is almost more important than it would be with a small team. One thing I learned building an app over the last year or so is that as a solo dev, you have to be very deliberate and careful with your time. Any time that I spend fixing and refactoring code I already wrote is time that I can't spend building new features to the app. Granted there is a balancing act here but my experience so far has taught me that you want to go the extra mile and make sure your work will not need to be re-written, because that cuts directly into the time you'd spend working on new features.

At work, coworkers are more liberal in tech debt accumulation because there's a drive to ship maximum impact that can be quantified.
