I care about my clean code. Nearly every line of code I write is "clean", because it affects the bottom line.

Messy codebases and bad architecture quadratically drive up the cost of development time. I've experienced this countless times for over 10 years, and it's endlessly frustrating.

The state of web has gotten so tirelessly messy, I had to write my own framework to return to the clean web architecture we once had. And my clients love it, even if they're not directly aware of it, because everything takes less time (and therefore less cost) to build.

It's a lot easier to swap out contains() for startsWith() at code review time than investigate some obscure bug that only affects a handful of requests 3 years later.
