It's okay to write dirty code

Read Original

This article challenges the pressure to always write clean code, arguing that this mindset can slow developers down. It advocates for writing 'dirty code' in specific scenarios: when stuck, to eventually produce good code, and when speed is essential. The author uses analogies to explain how allowing imperfect work can unblock creativity and lead to better final results.
