Pushing clean code and components is less for the clients and bosses but more for yourself to make all buttons blue on the entire app with 1 colour change instead of 150 changes ~ They help devs which is a better reason to make them just depends on the size of your project.

The way you gave examples and explained everything by detail is just pure talent. thanks and by the way everything you said in the video is real and it’s actually points that developpers notice late. Thanks for the video and i hope alot of people see it and find it helpful like i did.

Very nice video. I think especially today with all the AI code the pressure to write that perfect code where using a if statement is too basic has grown so much.
But 90% of the people „vibe coding“ dont even care what the code does as long as it works.
So as a beginner I would just try stuff as much as I can because thats how I think you‘ll learn the best - by doing and experimenting.

great video mate! everyone should take this as a lesson.
been coding for over 10-years and i have been through every single one of the issues you mentioned.

Yeah. This is real. They don’t care about the code written down
I took such a long amount of time to optimize, clean with design patterns, SOLID,… and my mentor don’t care. =))
