Before publishing something, you must be sure code is correct, that the main idea are properly expressed. Everything else can be improved after.

Yeah if my son said, (as he often does) "I hate these potatoes" but he really means "I hate these tomatoes" then the communication is breaking down. But it doesn't matter if he said, "no likey tomatoes" that still gets the idea across.

Code is pretty similar (as I think you pointed out). It needs to do what you want it to do, and being readable makes for good writing, but there are a million ways to do the same job as you'll see if you compare coding challenge solutions for instance.

Thanks for your comment 🙂
