It’s interesting how the monolith companies with a big ball of shit still stay in business.

But I’d say some projects (I expect to live less than 1 year) I’d just vibe code them so I won’t care much about the code. I just give very high level architectural ideas and that’s it.

Other projects which I expect lifespan to be more than 1-2 years I won’t let it become a ball of shit.

So it depends on the project.
