Mildly hot programming take.
People who bashed Balatro's "massive scroll of ifs" are ignoring the facts that:

1. Game dev is fundamentally different from modern GUI/web dev.
2. Developing a single-player game solo is very different even from developing a big game with a team and a lifecycle, not to mention a continually-delivered web project.
3. The code isn't even that bad, in my opinion.
