I think "it's fine if it works" makes sense for rapid prototyping, proof-of-concepts, and other "throw-away" code, but when it comes to code that will be shipped and therefore maintained, I lean towards "good enough to work is not good enough to ship."
True, though I meant more for personal growth etc... and not business needs because there always seems to be a pressure to do better or write less with "more advanced" languages. A carousel is a carousel regardless of what tech was used and how it was hacked together and I think that you should be proud regardless. I'm probably wrong though...
Good to see developers and the like still being practical as ever though πππ

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
As long as it works... it's fine.
As long as a questionable bit of code has decent tests I'd let it in the codebase.
What context do you have in mind?

Fully agree, since the statement without context could also be applied to social injustice that just works for most people.
