Yes. If you have some experience, you know that writing code is a small part of the job, and a much bigger chunk is anticipating and/or dealing with problems.
People seem to think engineers like "clean code" because we like to be fancy and show off.
Nah, it's clean like a construction site. I need to be able to get the cranes and the heavy machinery in and know where all the buried utilities are. I can't do that if people just build random sheds everywhere and dump their equipment and materials where they are.
