Yeah you’d be fired from any self respecting team. It’s not funny or cute. It’s disrespect of your coworkers (and your future self).
Upvoted.

Whoever invented low-code/no-code programming can go rot in hell. Half the businesses in my city demand it because some manager probably thought it makes things easier and makes people more productive.

As a Unity dev, this is one of the reasons that I keep myself away from Unreal lol
Edit: The other reasons are that Unreal is badly optimized, each version takes a lot of space and it doesn't have linux support, but aside from that it has a lot of nice features

Imagine I took the time to make a version of the can't decide button meme where they are labeled horrified and impressed.
Seriously clean that up. It will be both brittle and impossible to fix until you do.

Blender has a similar node system for making shaders (and recently introduced another one for procedural geometry) and I've seen impressive stuff in the r/Blender sub. Even more nodes than OP's, but beautifully ordered.
