One thing I learnt from my 'competition' was that code quality really does not matter to end users, whether the code is clean and perfect or a spaghetti mess, so long as it works end users don't know or care.
- ilonacodes 6y agoThat is true! There is a lot of danger going into both sides of the spectrum: - Do excellent beautiful clean code, and you spent a lot of time, and your competitors outdid you; - Do the most horrible spaghetti mess ball of mud code, and your product will be bug-ridden, and users won’t stay with you and jump to a competitor because their ! product quality ! is higher. There is a right place of balance: how can we be less perfectionistic about our codebases and still keep the ! product quality ! good enough while maintaining the blazing speed of development, and develop the right thing our customer really needs. That is the key.
