Making a mess

I don't understand people who insist on using messy spacing for their debug/POC code, and then clean it up later. Doesn't it take more effort to clean up rather than to use proper spacing the first time round?
 
It's like making an unnecessary mess even when you know you will be the one cleaning it up later.

To paraphrase Uncle Bob of Clean Coders, you don't work more quickly by being messier, you do that by being cleaner!

(My company bought licenses for us to watch a batch of Clean Coders videos. Even though the content is not bad, I actually dislike Uncle Bob because of his tendency to over-dramatize his lessons.)
