This may be a uniquely cultural thing at CodePen. This company has never really been run with the goal of moving fast, scaling up, selling out and riding off into the sunset clutching bags of money - code quality be damned. It’s been kind of the opposite, really, a slow and steady approach. I’m encouraged to think and re-think through how and why I’ve approached a problem any particular way instead of being pressured to finish quickly and move on to the next thing.
This tension resonates with me. Reworking code is an investment in the team’s future. But judging and justifying investments is not easy.
