alt Hacker NewsYou are repeating the same thing. You think having good maintainable good is important - more than the first camp.
That does not mean you are correct. This mindset is useful only in serious reusable libraries and open source tools. Most enterprise code involves lots of exploring and fast iteration. Code quality doesn’t matter that much. No one else is going to see it.
When the craft coders bring their ideology to this set up, it starts slowing things down because they are optimising for the wrong target.

This is just false for anyone who has worked in the industry for any meaningful amount of time. Do you seriously never encountered a situation where a change was supposedly easy on the surface, but some stupid SoB before you wrote it so bad that you want to pull your hair out from trying to make it work without rewriting this crap codebase from scratch?
