Eventually, I come to realize, a lot of the code I write is "shit". But I do press on, writing more "shit." It's always going to be "shit" to someone.

Now, I've been on both ends of the code review cycles numerous times, and have managed to convince people that most of the code I write (or think about in my head) isn't "shit" on both ends of the spectrum.

However, I've also seen remarkable projects completed by people whose code I would consider "complete shit," and you know what? That was inspirational to me. It meant, that despite all the odds, they did something awesome with their "shit" code and made something beautiful out of it.
