I asked ChatGPT to edit the above, and received really wonderful piece. Here without any changes:

Fascinating topic indeed! As a staunch idealist with a practical edge, I strive to comprehend the broader implications of "it works" in the software landscape. While a script may effectively serve its purpose today, it falls short when confronted with the task of addressing software issues stemming from a narrow mindset of "it works."

To me, "it works" entails not only present functionality but also the non-functional aspects that ensure its future viability. Rather than attempting to anticipate every conceivable product trajectory, I adhere to a disciplined approach that avoids excessive assumptions or demands on the runtime environment. Additionally, I have observed instances where something "does work" under very specific conditions, such as a developer's personal machine or with a particular set of database data and accompanying unit tests. While an "it works" mentality may suffice for prototypes, it can lead to Y2K-like predicaments.

Having said that, I am inclined to challenge the dichotomy itself. By transforming the spectrum of "pragmatic" to "idealist" into a two-dimensional plane, we can explore how the pragmatic and idealistic dimensions can exist somewhat independently. This paradigm allows for a powerful synthesis that reconciles the perceived "contradiction" between "it works" and "built in the correct way." On this two-dimensional plane, we can envision the path for individual developers to elevate themselves from novices to heroes, realizing that the practical journey may not adhere strictly to a diagonal trajectory as portrayed in the article's black-and-white depiction.

Undoubtedly, there exist varying degrees in comprehending both "it works" and "built the right way."

Herein lies the Holy Grail of the software industry: functional software constructed with the utmost integrity.

I believe that the exercise I previously undertook, rotating opposing viewpoints by 90 degrees, can also be applied to address the diverse spectra within software developer teams.

Once again, I express my gratitude for bringing up this thought-provoking subject!
