I’m a web developer in my spare time. I write little things that solve problems in my two day jobs, they haven’t tended to be pretty because often I’m learning as I go and when it works then it’s truly time to move on to the next problem, even though I now know enough to solve the old problem again more elegantly. I’m trying to use better practices and modern JS frameworks in new projects just for experience, even though they are actually overkill in many cases. Certainly the people I work for would rather have two useful utilities written in plain es5 and php than one useful utility plus a story about the code quality. I’m gradually finding the middle ground where somebody call look at my code and not instantly want to take a shower.

Saying all this shows that 1. You care and 2. You know the difference.

I’d hire you.

Good to hear- I’m hoping to switch to full time web development some time in the new year. It's actually my favorite thing at these other jobs.
