every long-running personal project I’ve ever done has been built on code I consider beautiful
I design fucking languages and frameworks on the basis that I’ve found a more aesthetically pleasing way to do something, because if I find it beautiful then it’s probably worth doing
the only time I write ugly code is when I’m forced to by my employer or when I’m solving a problem that shouldn’t exist
what does that tell you about your code, asshole?
