This is a great point. Back in the early internet days, that stuff we enjoyed was proper garbage on the inside. It was the ugliest stuff I ever saw. But it worked and we loved it. I’d rather have garbage code I love using than best practices I’m not particularly interested in working on or using. A friend of mine is such a pro at slapping stuff together that is technically bad, but definitely works. And he has great ideas, so his outputs are awesome despite the internal quality. I really envy how good he is at just making stuff. He has no shame about any of it. If anything he would feel shame about not letting his ideas out, which is so much more sensible. I am a huge fan of janky weird stuff. It’s the best way to get your ideas out there.
