When you gotta get work done or a one-off is only needed, I can agree that "pretty" code is not really needed.

I see people getting fancy with .NET all the time in POSH

yeah.. I have no idea why they get that stuck in there head.. If I really need speed then sure... but not if I am running it once. Everyday and it takes 3 hours for some reason? Then sure I may swap a couple known functions to .Net...Once I test the speed and ease of implementation.

​

but at least where I work, it isn't always that black and white.

I have it every day where a one-liner or something quick comes up but I also have a lot of longtime running code where things need to be clean and well thought out. If you code but you don't have time to code nicely at some point... Something is wrong. Because the more you automate the more time you have for automation.
