"Home-cooked" software is such a perfect analogy to indie game development.
It resonates with me much more that other terms like "full stack", "Dev ops", and so on.
It nicely removes the guilt of not writing the perfect codebase, as we often have to sacrifice that in order to ship a game.
For me indie games might not be the michelin star earners some of the time, but they warm the stomach. With imperfect charm they offer the delightful experiences just like home cooked patisserie. (edit formatting)
