    Haha, love the last paragraph. It’s hard for software engineers to release code publicly knowing their work is going to be scrutinized by other engineers, without adding a disclaimer or caveat of some kind.

    “We had very little time and were crunching for months”

    “I know this is a bit hacky but I was 7 years old”

    “I wrote this code in hospital while I was recovering from anesthesia”

    It reminds me of a musician playing their song publicly for the first time.
