My grandma once gifted me expired Blockbuster bucks.

I do the same thing and honestly the food tastes better by Wednesday. Something about it sitting there and soaking in its own juices. Made a pot of chili on Sunday and ate it for lunch Mon through Fri, no regrets. By day four you just stop tasting it as chili and start tasting it as "lunch." My coworker asked what smelled so good and I was like man I don't even know anymore. It's efficient and I refuse to feel bad about it.

Wait, why do you think messy code at 1,000 lines is a problem? That's normal and honestly kind of the point. Six weeks in and you built something that runs on your own, that is a huge deal and the "glue and hope" feeling never really goes away, not at 1k lines and not at 50k. Code that looks messy today is just code you have not had to change yet, and when it breaks you will learn more fixing it than you ever would from a tutorial. Chasing clean code too early usually just means you sit around renaming things instead of building. Ship the messy thing, use it for a month, and let the real bugs tell you what to clean up.
