Don't worry about it, the vast majority of the code won't see light of day, there is no engineer who has to fix it for production, there is no production.

The idea is everyone writing everything the "right way" from the get-go would be premature optimization.

The right way in this case doesn't mean AdapterFactoryBeanFactoryService-land. It means taking care that your code is clear, concise and correct for others skilled in the art. The fact that academic code exists at all, as an example, means that it _is_ in production. There's no excuse for shit code that isn't written for other human beings first and computers second.
