    Heya, post author here. I would say I’m not trying to be apologetic for the idea that software quality is diminishing, especially cause I became an indie developer because I care a…

    Hey there, article author here! I spent a lot of time writing up a comment that talks through my process so I'll just lazy link it here if that's ok. [^1] But the truth is I do bui…
