My job isn't to be infatuated with your code. It's to get through your code and get stories done.
People don't really get better at handling the complexity of large code bases. We are fundamentally the same organic matter that existed prior to the first computer coming into existence. So as code bases and library bases grow larger and larger, they need to be proportionately easier to read or even ignore.
Your code needs to be dead boring 90% of the time, otherwise you're imposing on your coworkers. And using variables before they're declared is just shitty behavior.
