And hopefully no one else regrets it...

By then you're onto the next thing and it's their problem, right?

Thus is the circle of (engineering) life.

Just kidding. Please write maintainable code.

"Please write maintainable code"

Not in the requirements, sorry.

He's using RUST. Haven't you seen all the blogicles that explain how it's impossible to write bad code in rust??

Most people don't know how to do this, because it's actually hard, and I don't think it's being taught much in programmer education.

I certainly had to learn "on the job", and probably spent 10 years before I got good at it.

I learned the most by fixing bugs. After a while, I started seeing the patterns of why this bug had occurred, and started writing code do avoid the traps.
