I would have thought that the feedback (so far) on your post would have shown you that the HN mood is that code conventions are not about "pretty" but are a fundamental standard for professional programming.

As an aside: code expected to be replaced "in two months" has a horrible habit of still being around in 10 years.

Sure, if it lasts 10 years, it's good code :-)
