Writing maintainable code requires a lot of discipline, it’s so easy to get carried away and write spaghetti

Yeah, coding is in reality a slow process. We want too fast these days. Wrote for long python and was lazy. Now writing C, not lazy at all anymore and even the Python code became better of it. But with C, I often can make shortcuts when it really takes me too long. But with C, it also bytes you harder than ever. Everything is so strictly connected, a change of part A is chained to part F and costs a lot of rewrite what you end up NOT DOING. And eventually you rewrite the half application some day.

think I need to just go through the spaghetti phase. otherwise I'll never learn. worrying about it being maintainable means I won't write anything and won't learn very fast at all so it's actually been a liability

kept going around asking questions of rust nobody cared the answers to. over-engineering maintainability. you don't know til it happens and nobody else knows either
