When I’m writing code, it’s my baby, those tickets are what I’m working on and I’m trying to bring them together into one epic masterpiece that will wow the world.
Yes, you will be amazed at how beautiful and elegant I can make the bulk distribution of notifications. You will never see this code, because I don’t like to do UI/UX. Still, it will be there, working behind the scenes, doing its thing and one day you will look down at your phone as another notification comes in and say to yourself — “Wow that notification engine is legit top-notch and beautiful”.
Or rather that is what I think before I commit my final bug and walk away. And once it’s gone, it is no longer mine, my little baby has grown up and is there to be used by the world and by others who have the opportunity (but is it really?) to fix my code, enhance it or definitely make it better.
Everyone agrees, in the abstract, that our code is made to grow and be improved on, it’s the base foundation of AI that we all adhere to — “let the machines keep on learning” — but when it comes to our code, we forget this notion, only we know it, only we can help it get better, only we understand the true meaning of what was trying to be done.
