That's wrong. Quality of a product or service requires a systems perspective which is a balanced collection of somewhat opposing aims including readability and understandability.
Try being a ceo and tell your employees: all I care about is high top line and small bottom line. It smacks of talorism.
I'm working on a 5 million line commercial successful software service in C. Its been hacked on for years with little refactoring. There's no guides, architectures docs, or even engineering notes for the systems most important concepts. It's a pain in ass! It works and it's a mess.
- deterministic 3y agoSo you are telling me that the lack of guides, architecture docs, engineering notes etc. for the software you are working on is not preventing the software from being successful and generating a high ROI. In other words, you just proved my point. The fact that it is a pain in the ass for you working on it has nothing to do with the ROI of the software. Think like a business person not a developer.
