Perhaps, but when I built the shed in my back yard I didn't enforce the same standards a construction engineer would for a skyscraper. I increased the quantity of "shitty construction" in the world, but it works great for my purposes.

Not every programmer is a "software engineer" for many, code is a tool to get a job done, it's a means to an end, and that's wonderful.

And a lot more stuff being done. Cut it out with the elitism.

It's like being an anaerobic bacteria complaining about the abundance of oxygen in during the Cambrian explosion.

"Back in my day no stinking, puny, oxygen breathing things were around, only sturdy creatures such as myself" :-)

Yeah, it was messy, but that's how we were able to have humans, hundreds of millions of years later.

What is "code quality" anyway?
