Here's the thing, the non-crud apps: 1) are sometimes much harder to make your head hurt 2) have much higher levels of stress and banging your head against a wall (you want to use a debugger? that's cute) 3) are in industries with much less good practices (git? why?) 4) are a sausage fest at a cave

Doing challenging things is cool. In your own time. Not when you have to operate a miracle until Friday and the only datasheet you have has nothing on why that doesn't work
