I work in the health software space and there are tons of internal tools which aren't production code that can benefit massively from throwaway "write-only code". Putting a web UI on top of a management CLI tool so support ops can run things without needing an oncall engineer can be a huge win. I recently built a testing UI that doubles a demo-scenario-setup tool. Is it well-engineered? Who cares - it pokes the right things into the database and runs the right backend tasks, and has helped me catch and fix dozens of real bugs in the UIs that customers see.

There is an enormous untapped market for crappy low-effort apps which previously weren't worth the time - but with the effort so low put together a simple dashboard or one-off tool it becomes much more attractive.
