The bigger problem is, when the code works, but you think it shouldn't
Yeah this is the scariest point in all of my projects.
The true horror begins, when the customer calls for support, because some things are awkward, and you know instantly the cause, also that you will have to fix this now, 5 years later.
I love that realization when I throw some hacky shit together and it somehow works first try.
When I try to be organized and meticulous nothing works and I eventually give up.
That sounds like a great way to set yourself up for spectacular failures down the road
