@donkulator I can

Exactly my state lately > delivery is more important than anything else. Perfect code but not finished is 100% useless. My code quality is between six and eight. Not higher or (much) lower. Also, my projects aren't worth the effort of high quality code. I don't have to prove anything.

@retoor I don't consider it worthless in every case. UI-specific code? Probably worthless. Backend code, especially general purpose stuff like auth? Going straight to[ private] gists.

My code quality is always 10/10. I used to be a huge ship-asap advocate with 3/10 code quality, I even made pixelhunter.io in one week and a product of the day in six lines of code, shipped very basic projects, but I no longer use that strategy. It works, and it's good enough for everybody except people like me.

If I sprint to ship, my limit is one week. If I don't ship in one week, I get instant burnout and kill the project (https://miloxeon.notion.site/dc3958...). The only way for me to _want_ to get back to the project is to take my time and treat it like bonsai. A slow art of growing perfection one step at a time.

@retoor Right now I'm working on my magnum opus since Sept 2024. I keep on putting solid work in: there was never a huge progress gap. It's like solid 50% ready, and I mean it. The public-facing free part with a LOT of functionality is 100% done. Not 90, not 95, straight up 100.
