“Clean code” is overrated.
I’ve seen clean codebases that were impossible to scale.
And messy codebases that handled real users just fine.
What actually matters:
• Does the system work reliably?
• Can it handle real-world usage?
• Can you change things without breaking everything?
Readability is important.
But production behavior matters more.
Most users never see your code.
They feel your system.
