People that get things done usually don't care about code quality. I noticed myself in a place where I just never finished anything anymore by trying to write something to last. Over the years I've found a good balance, but I've found that iterating over garbage will eventually turn into something good and I've been doing so since.

My previous employer certainly got things done. They got so many things done, that I found it impossible to add features to their codebase.

I'd say it's a skill issue, but that's only because I've worked on decompiled applications and made it work. I've worked with assembly and made it work. I hook google chrome with pdb resolving and made it work.

It took me 10 years to get to this point, it is not a reasonable expectation to have of others.

Is good software a Dorodango? A pile of mud that has polished enough to be pretty.

Funny, but no. Software never becomes a smooth sphere, instead you keep adding more chunks to it that are barely holding on that somewhat resembles a sphere... eventually. Wireguard was great from the start.
