Why do you feel you need to "carefully look over and tweak" stuff?
Can you define code quality and the goal of the program in a deterministic way?
If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and is a duck, does it matter if it's actually a raven inside?
- jplusequalt 10mo agoYes, if your goal is to build a duck, and to understand what goes into building a duck. A lot of people derive joy from learning how to do something, not merely seeing the end result.
- theshrike79 10mo agoDepends if you're an artesan or a craftsman. Do you want to make one beautiful intricate table that will last ages. Or do you need a table ASAP because you have guests coming and your end-table can barely fit a pint and a bag of chips? It's perfectly OK to want to craft something beautiful and understand every single line of code deeply. But it also takes more time than just solving the problem with sufficient quality.
