I've seen it play out so many times. A small hack here, a quick fix there, "we'll clean it up later." And then later arrives and cleaning it up means rebuilding half the system.
The engineers who wrote the original shortcuts? Sometimes they're not even on the team anymore.
At NerdDevs, one of our core principles is: write code you'd be comfortable handing to someone else. Not because we're perfectionists, but because we know that someone else is always coming - a new hire, a new phase, a new client taking over.
Good code is a gift to your future self.
Ship quality. It's always faster in the long run.
