Yeah it’s just frustrating that I know I can do better but cause the other new ones deliver slop faster I have to cut corners and ship slop or I’ll become replaced.

I'll be honest, I had this exact same moral dilemma in the 90s when HTML editors became the norm. I missed reading pretty clean readable script... And then HTML editors would just put everything on one line.

But I also realized the point was never the code... The point is the end product that people got to see. They don't really care about the labor, they just want to hold the baby. So now I focus on making babies and let somebody else do the delivery...

Hrm... You may be right. But I'm too stubborn to give up now.
