> Nobody cares about which programming language you are using, nobody cares about which frameworks your team has chosen, nobody cares about how elegant your data structures are and nobody cares about how good is your code. The only thing that somebody cares about is how much does your software cost and how much revenue it generates This completely elides one of the biggest issues (at least in my job) -Who is going to maintain the code and how much is that support going to cost. Maintenance can include troubleshooting and bug fixes/enhancements and sometimes it's just pure support (i.e who does the user contact if their app is crashing). I don't know about the web which is what I usually associate Javascript with but for in house business applications delivering a well supported application is critical. I've found (as someone who occasionally has to commission contract work) that unless I am upfront (and dare I say confrontational) about support and maintenance expectations during the design phase I will end up with a complete mess at the end and support costs will end up ballooning out.
