Can confirm - you work like a dumber, more tired version of you needs to maintain it, so comment accordingly. Also, you do the work right but also fast; and you see how right you can do it in a reasonable timeframe of course.

But we fired a lot of our mentors after Y2K to Dave money that quarter. And the juniors there had no learning as to the whys of the whats when it comes to best practice. Those juniors became seniors and their juniors are 2nd-gen flying blind. We're doing dumb things because we know why we shouldn't, but we don't understand that we shouldn't. (Hint: if someone says "Yeah But," they may not get it)

We need to rediscover the whys we lost; and it's gonna be hard to really understand it, but we'll figure it out. A few more ClownStrikes and we wont have a choice!

Yeah but, move fast and break things is management's motto, they don't want to pay for the time it will take to write good code
