100%, Programming is all about trying to keep control, trying to prevent it from becoming chaos, trying to ensure you still understand the program you wrote at the end of the day. With out doing any of this it's easy, easy not to care... sometimes I do this with throw away code and suddenly it feels like I can fly, I can write thousands of lines so fast, progress is lightning fast, and then it all turns to shit really quickly and the friction of chaos grinds it to a halt - at which point I only validate my normal slow mode of plodding through things carefully and minimally.
