That is exactly what I wrote.

In my 40+ years of experience in IT/programming (I graduated 1981 from a 
Dutch polytechnic "HIO" in Computer Science and have retired in 2022) I 
have learnt that "works fine" is only part of the work. Maintainability 
should be added as well. Even if it is code written for one's personal 
use only, it may need some work later and then it's crucial to have it 
maintainable.

But maybe you think so too,

Josef
