I don't even want to clean up my own code, let alone the unholy fucking abortion created by an LLM and a Linked In "CEO and founder" working in tandem.

I do enjoy cleaning code a lot.

When I work on shitty code I'm always thinking about how shitty it is and thinking on how a different design would make it much easier.

When you clean the code, you're implementing that perfect design you were thinking of all that time. And you know from that point on you'll be thinking less about how shitty the code is.

If your only task is to clean code and you're not gonna work on that codebase afterwards, it's not as rewarding though.

You really should.

Cleaning up code is the most important part of development.
