People that get things done usually don't care about code quality. I noticed myself in a place where I just never finished anything anymore by trying to write something to last. Over the years I've found a good balance, but I've found that iterating over garbage will eventually turn into something good and I've been doing so since.

- kachapopopow 2y agoFunny, but no. Software never becomes a smooth sphere, instead you keep adding more chunks to it that are barely holding on that somewhat resembles a sphere... eventually. Wireguard was great from the start.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoMy previous employer certainly got things done. They got so many things done, that I found it impossible to add features to their codebase.
- kachapopopow 2y agoI'd say it's a skill issue, but that's only because I've worked on decompiled applications and made it work. I've worked with assembly and made it work. I hook google chrome with pdb resolving and made it work. It took me 10 years to get to this point, it is not a reasonable expectation to have of others.
