Coding is an important skill to develop. But I'd rather develop my ability to NOT write code.

To choose libraries I won't have to mess with. To DRY up the architecture so I'm not implementing the same thing 5 times in a higher layer that would be trivial in the lower layer.

To not encourage sprawling piles of code by making sure there's one obvious way to to the things that need doing.

Shitty code will just teach me to code. But I already know how to code. I've been coding for a while now.

I don't need to be any better at writing average crappy code. I need to be better at writing bulletproof code that is as close to bug free as it can get, and architecting to prevent the need for shitty code.

Should musicians be lazy in their practice? Everyone outside of tech says you will play how you practice.

So if they encourage shitty code... you wonder if they really are all that committed to making bug free apps, or if they are dragging the old WorseIsBetter anchor.
