The kind of code I like finding on a Monday
Code that looks beautiful on day one is not always code you can live with for years. The real test is change, onboarding, production bugs, and whether the house remains livable.
I started understanding code better when I stopped thinking of it as sculpture and started thinking of it as a house. A sculpture you admire from the outside. A house you live in. It has bills, leaks, cabinets you open every day, and outlets in places that either help you or annoy you for years.
