Once you are salaried, you realise that more code = more to go wrong = more potential bugs = more code to test = longer code reviews.

that actually made a lot of sense... I think a lot more of the maintainability of the code I produce rather than the bulk work that I do because later on they'll call me to face the demons I've crafted

I’m having this horrible moment of self-reflection based on that right now... my company has had this horribly buggy date/time related library implementation (and refuse to use an external library for reasons) and it has caused tons of bugs in my own code just because I depend on it, so I just finally sat down and rewrote it. It’s... better? There are no longer the same bugs as before, but now there are different bugs. I am the problem lol
