"Nobody gives a f** about your clean code"
Absolutely false. And you'll know this as soon as you need to change or maintain your own code.
Even if you're a purely cynical person who does not care about your team members, or the future developers (and you're just optimising for business outcomes) you have the incentive to save yourself a lot of pain, as well as embarrassment when customers ask you for something and you need to say no.
I would, at minimum, rephrase that point to "Do clean code for you (and for your colleagues), not for some abstract virtue of writing clean code"

- pnut 3y agoA less charitable interpretation is that "Nobody gives a f* about your clean code, because if you're dealing with code, you're a nobody in the business"
