I feel like I've fallen into this hole at my current gig, where I just churn shit out to solve a problem as quickly as possible

I get away with it just bc general code quality was already not good to begin with

Biggest mistake was going fast the first time, now I'm getting assigned way more shit

Word of advice to readers: don't make the same mistake I made. You'll just get taken advantage of
