>call you a shitty programmer because you did it in O(n^2) when using THIS clever algorithm you could do it in O(n).

Nope, they'll call you a shitty programmer because every function in your codebase depends on the interface of every other function. Then they'll charge you a fortune to fix it.



And then as soon as they are done fixing it the requirements change and the fancy decoupled codebase (while very flexible in serving the needs of the old requirements) is basically non-workable for the new requirements.
