Approach programming with the same seriousness that you’d expect a programmer to approach your field with. You say yourself you just want it to “do the thing, conventions be damned”.
Well how would you feel if someone entered your lab or whatever and treated the tools of your trade that way?
I would agree if OP was trying to get a job as a developer, however I don't think they are.
It's more like you used a beaker for something and shook it to mix water and salt, it's not the recommended way, but it's fine.
At some point, they're gonna have to debug it.
This isn't a good assumption for researchers.
