Cut corners, remove features and sacrifice quality. Pretty much what I do in my hobby projects.

How a lot of software development ends up in real life too.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago

That's... too realistic.

Don't go crazy about abstraction.

Sometimes it's better to write some code twice than expending two weeks trying to make a fit-all new class with 50 interfaces.

Sometimes you should do that, but for many projects that level of abstraction is not needed.

This is a developer perspective that doesn't consider the big picture with security holes. And one of the reasons why software has gotten worse.
