Yes the code is not actually important as two different teams will solve the same problem in different manners. Just like a great painting and a bad one can use the same base materials. What’s important is the purpose and the constraints of any solution. Any decision you take propagates down the timeline and outward in the project. And they preclude other decisions from being taken.

So whatever you do will live a mark. But there are some spaces that should not be filled in. While it may look nice in the moment or taken in isolation. When looking at the whole, it makes it a mess.
