I don't work as a programmer -- I have no customer and no boss.

So then I question your devotion to your style and your confidence in
its effectiveness.

So I can't cook well if I don't work as a chef?

You won't get so much feedback as to the success of your recipes
if you cook only for yourself.

If you have never worked in the industry nor have
had to satisfy a customer or their requirements I don't see how you can
make judgements on your style vs. what the undoubted experts here in
this forum promote.

I cook my own food to satisfy myself.

I write my own code to satisfy myself.

Then why are you wasting time trying to convince people that they
should like /your/ food? If you're coding for yourself, code for
yourself - our preferences shouldn't matter to you.

You're in the position of trying to convince eaters that it's not
/logical/ for them to dislike broccoli or parmesan or deep-fried
honeybees [1].

That's because I have a fully-functional brain,

No-one has a fully functional brain; brains have mutable (and
mutated) state.
