But did you do it well? It’s not a snack, but a question based on general observation that every is praising the process, but no comment on the outcome.

I think I've done a good job straddling the delivery/maintainability line thus far. In the near future I'm likely going to have to downshift into smaller, higher quality changes and refactors, but I've been careful to keep an eye on the output and make sure the functions are reasonably scoped, documented, and understandable. I don't anticipate any issues maintaining what I've produced so far, but it could easily get out of hand as more concepts get mixed in.

Who cares? The business paid. Software engineers often overestimate how much businesses care about doing a job well vs quickly/cheaply

The future scapegoat, aka maintainer.
