Clean code is maintainable code, and the person most likely to maintain it is you. It's in your own best interests to write clean and pretty code. Also you'll get the boot if you're causing problems for the rest of the team.
I know. I've since cleaned it up. As you pointed out, maintaining it was not fun. Luckily, I don't really have to worry about it causing trouble; it's a data analysis code for research that only I use.
meme stolen thx
not rubbish but maybe pluggish code
