"Writing good code is a charity". ( - saves time, effort, mental-health, & career of next developer).

Honestly the company is to blame.

The quality and organization of the code is like a foundation.

If all you need is a garden shed, it might be fine to cut some corners.

If the product needs to grow into a skyscraper, you don't want to discover halfway through that you built everything on soft clay.

@bittersweet bad timing to use garden shed corner cutting as an analogy. Last week I've seen quite a few sheds ripped to shreds by Eunice. Entire roofs laying in the water.

I do agree with what you say by the way. Just thought the contrast with reality was funny.

@hjk101 Regardless of the type of application you need strong walls & roof against destruction & intrusion.

In other words: Your little garden shed blog can cut some foundation corners and have a few messy API controllers —but it should still be secured against Eve trying to brute force passwords, or Eunice trying to post malware links in comments.

😹 Let that fat ass manager fix errors during the weekend. This life ain't war I quit programming 🤭🤣
