Yes it's also part of the reason I prefer coding for myself. I can ignore a lot of "what ifs" and edge cases because I'm always there to pick up the mess if something happens. I get to focus on the stuff that makes an impact and forget the idiot-proofing :)

Or said another way, it can be fun and also effective to "Do Things That Don't Scale" [http://paulgraham.com/ds.html].
