I always feel like my code is the best in personal projects when I don’t need to conform to whatever style and architecture has been decided on by history and committee.
91For me it's always, "this is hacky as shit, but it works, and nobody will ever see it but me."
65My most arcane pieces of code (abusing null references to make the garbage collector handle object deletion kind of cursed) are usually posted publicly somewhere... If it works and all that.

Was gonna say, 1st and 2nd should be switched

Gotta review the 5 line PR ten times just to make absolutely totally sure there's nothing wrong with it before submitting it.
59I have never contributed to an open source project before, so if we exclude the third part this is the reverse of my habits. The stuff I do for work is bare minimum garbage, I freely admit. I really do not like my employer.
34Aaand here's why production software is so damn buggy. I'm not faulting you personally, just your employer.

Nobody can see this -> some people can see this -> anybody can see this
33Perfectly described!

I'll be honest with ya pal, all 3 of em are pic 1 for the most part
21You saying the code quality of some of my colleagues is even worse on their personal projects? o_O
16They probably don't even have personal projects

Hmmm... I comment a lot on Lemmy... Maybe I could be more productive commenting code 🤔
13I would like to contribute to open source but I'm not confident enough or understand git properly. As solo dev I only have to fulfill my boss's standards, they seam to be low.
10Yeh, for me git is a backup system.
My boss gave me a hand on some bits (more, I set up a framework and he could tweak pages). Anyway, I fixed some stuff, tidied some of his shit, then trying to get git to merge that back into his workspace REALLY stretched my knowledge of git LUL.
I'm sure doing that every day would get me up to speed, but ATM commit/push means "backup" to me2
invert personal stuff and work and its me
9That is very noble of you! Hats off.
