I always feel like my code is the best in personal projects when I don’t need to conform to whatever style and architecture has been decided on by history and committee.
For me it's always, "this is hacky as shit, but it works, and nobody will ever see it but me."
My most arcane pieces of code (abusing null references to make the garbage collector handle object deletion kind of cursed) are usually posted publicly somewhere... If it works and all that.
