I find myself doing this but then I worry that the slop will just compound and 3, 6, 12 months from now as my services scale I'll have a harder time operating them. Maybe I'm wrong.
that's 100% happening to me right now not just with a specific codebase but with the fun/engineering parts of coding in general.... it makes me sad, slightly concerned, but optimistic that I can build a trillion dollar company with no employees. I'm kidding. Who knows. I'm enjoying building so I guess there's that.
