Clean code — a term first coined by Robert C. Martin in his book ‘Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile craftmanship’ — is very relevant in today’s fast-paced, highly complex software development and lifecycle management environments. Because no one wants to clean out the filter in the compiler when it gets jammed up

If you are hungry enough you could eat the part of the spaghetti code, then you would not need to clean it up (so far you don't dirty everything else)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

[^] Quote: What is so revolutionary about MIT’s study is that it can lead to the development of Advanced Materials of colloidal assembly for lightguided electronics. And this would potentially mean abandoning electricity and all the bad consequences it has on our environment. Light is free and available everywhere. All that supports the opinion that MIT research is a milestone step in electronics development which would be impossible to achieve without Additive Manufacturing.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

It’s a tale too often told. A young developer shows up bright eyed and bushy tailed to start a new career in software development. There’s code to create, documentation to write, and problems to solve. The world is a never-ending adventure. "Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance"
