I like this one, and can relate.

I work in many projects, some small, some big and some personal. And yeah, it's a lot easier when you're alone or in rather small and new projects. But I think it's important to do it in such projects, as to make them be in the best shape possible before it becomes a big project or many people start working on it. As later on it's harder to do as you mentioned.

hence over time the codebase begins to smell like a pile of turd

I have a couple of those at our company, they smell from 5 miles away lol
