I just write mediocre shit cause I know my company doesn’t give af about me. Code works, ship it. It’s not my personal passion project. They own the code and IP, I’m not taking it with me . It’s a job, for a company that would gladly replace me in a heart beat. Not to mention, I don’t get paid more money if my code is the most beautiful code ever, or barely works.
