I just saw someone on Mastodon rant about this LinkedIn post: linkedin.com/posts/kchodorow_aSo the LinkedIn post is pretty much saying "clean code doesn't matter".But the post also highlights that sound engineering judgement matters more.I actually resonate with this post.Sort of.It's the fact that I'm tired of hearing from grey beards who complain about messy-looking code, even though nothing breaks when changes are made.My biggest pet peeve is their complaints about Tailwind CSS and CSS-InJS. Unlike what these grey beards are talking about, styling embedded directly into the component is perfectly fine. If anything, I find those more maintainable than dedicated CSS files.On the other side, I've also seen people complain about TypeScript. "Code looks messy with type annotations".Yeah, but giving up static typing gives up valuable compile-time code contracts.I would have responded to the Mastodon user, but he doesn't follow me; I'm just a random.#Programming
