I mean really nobody wants an app that is slow, hard to refactor, with confusing business logic etc. Everyone wants good proporties.

So then you get into what you’re good at. Maybe you’re good at modeling business logic (even confusing ones!). Maybe you’re good at writing code that is easy to refactor.

Maybe you’re good at getting stuff right the first time. Maybe you’re good at quickly fixing issues.

You can lean into what you’re good at to get the most bang for your buck. But you probably still have some sort of minimum standards for the whole thing. Just gotta decide what that looks like.



Some people are proud of making complex code. And too many people admire those who write complex code.
