I'd suggest that spaghetti code disqualifies one from anything but the smallest teams and projects. "Coding" is what we do on our own time w/o the likelihood of others interacting.

   Software engineering is what happens to programming
   when you add time and other programmers. [1]

+1 understand that most code comments are 0.5% more effort for 1% better result, death by 1000 cuts, style things. They by no means denigrate your skills (unless you believe yourself to be perfect, godlike) and do have value for the team because those gains compound.
