Like you, I am ready to admit that one man's turd is another man's gem, and that cultural "prescriptors" and gatekeepers often got it wrong.

Unlike many, I am not going to follow along into caricatural post-modernism where nothing is good, nothing is bad anymore.

> nothing is good, nothing is bad anymore

Explain to me why nihilism is factually incorrect?

Good and bad is all relative to the perceiver.

I am sure your argument is well received at your code review.

Haha fair but I was thinking more in a “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” way.

Code is a way of creating something that itself may or may not be good. But the actual code - I agree, it can be objectively bad.

The Nihilism concept, as I mean to use it here, is more about meaning, values, aesthetics. Concepts like Logic & Math, not so much.
