“I think good code is overrated. And this is a very controversial thing to say, but I don't think code is art. I think code has a purpose and the purpose is to build something. And even if your code is not the nicest, as long as it works, it doesn't matter. In the end, your user doesn't care if your code looks nice.” – Sara Vieira
