I do it for free for me, family and friends, I try to avoid changing the code as much as possible - often all I do is spell check, as long as it readable on a couple of kindles & android tablets that's all I need. I don't care much about whether the code is pretty, elegant, efficient, whatever.

I used Plain TeX a bit at DEC, then I went to Xerox and fell into the habit of Star-gazing
