"There's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works"

I loved reading this blog post[0]. Everything starts with a spreadsheet and then instead of replacing it, people just keep building on top of it forever.

While I found the post funny to read, honestly I'm fine with all the mess. I'm happy to embrace it instead of forever polishing something that I will never ship.

Vibe coded apps are next level of mess though and people don't seem to recognise that while betting on 'AI will fix it later'.
