If there is no such thing as good code, why does it spark so much discussion? Why care at all?

- imoverclocked 3y agoWe can all be passionate about what we care about and strive to be better. For me, this is what looking back at my old code means. When I see that I could have done something better, it means that I have grown. It also means that whatever I produce now could probably be improved upon. The biggest trap (for me) in this endeavor is to not be a perfectionist; One can spend a lifetime improving/optimizing/refactoring/etc. By accepting that there is no single encompassing definition of "good code," I am freed to choose the attributes that I think matter most for a particular piece of code.
