You're right that shipping !== good code, but I wouldn't be able to keep shipping the same product if it weren't somewhat valuable to my customers.

The point isn't that I'm a unicorn, but that good developers can exist outside of code challenges.

People like me, that are self-taught and work super hard in order to improve our craft...we're not appreciated enough.

Everyone wants a rockstar, forgetting that drummers and bass players add a lot of value.
