At first, it confused me. But then I realized it was actually a really good lesson.

Ad-hoc logic happens when you write code that solves the problem right now, but without structure, consistency, or clear intention.
It works, but it’s fragile. It’s a quick fix, not a solid solution.

For example:

• Adding a random if just to make something pass
• Handling an edge case in one spot instead of thinking globally
• Writing code that only makes sense in your head
• Creating logic that isn’t reusable or maintainable

It’s not “wrong,” but it’s not sustainable.

The comment reminded me of something important:
as developers, we don’t just write code that works — we write code that other people can understand, trust, and build on.

So now, every time I write a quick solution, I stop and ask myself:
Is this a real solution, or just ad-hoc logic that future me will hate?

A small comment, but a big reminder to think beyond the moment.
