The prime directive of code made for a company really is to increase profits or decrease costs, though. Most of the time just getting the job done is all that matters. Critical services and spacecraft code are exceptions.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoYes. Which is precisely the root of the problem. Increasing profits and decreasing costs are goals of a company, not of the people who will eventually use the software (internal tools are an exception). The goals of companies and users are only partially aligned (the better your sales&marketing team is, the less they need to be aligned).
