There’s a sad corollary to this: because good code doesn’t need to be read as often, people read bad code more and internalise its bad habits. There’s a similar concept in management where the ineffective team requires additional staff to complete their work, which means that their culture “infects” the majority of the employees in the organisation. Once I noticed this pattern, I can recognise it everywhere. E.g.: JavaScript gets an enormous amount of industry attention because it is so inefficient and clumsy. If it was a good, mature language it wouldn’t need an endless parade of libraries, frameworks, tools, blog articles, vendors, and tutorials.
