  1. In the olden days, developers often had different engineering backgrounds where they were taught problem solving -- a skill that is often underdeveloped in CS grads. Also, you were often more interested in the application, and better understood what that application entailed.

  2. RE: "Making it Work" -- there are situations where it is perfectly OK to write throw-away code. Like proof-of-concepts. Preferably, write these in a language different from the one you will use for a production system.

  3. RE: "sign 2": there are some true professionals (like Dave Farley) who think feature branches and reviews are bad. They make Continuous Delivery impossible. I agree. Check in to master, and let the build pipeline determine if the code is acceptable or not.
