You know what? They're absolutely right. We spend way too much time obsessing over "clean code" and "best practices" when at the end of the day, if it works, it works. Your spaghetti code that somehow passes all tests? Good code. That nested if-statement monstrosity that correctly processes user input? Good code. The function with 47 parameters that nobody wants to refactor because it's been running in production for 3 years without a single bug? Also good code.
Sure, your senior dev might cry when they see your variable names, and yes, future-you will probably hate past-you for that lack of documentation. But if the feature shipped and the users are happy, congratulations—you wrote good code. The real bad code is the code that doesn't exist because you spent 6 hours bikeshedding over whether to use a factory pattern or a builder pattern.
