The vast majority of corporate-employed programmers write bad code. I think maybe 10% of the people I’ve come across have shown any interest or care in the quality of code they write.
There will be a large majority of people who hold these opinions, because they weren’t capable of or didn’t care enough to write good code in the before times
- sarchertech 5mo agoThe real problem with these conversations is that code quality isn’t something we have any kind of consensus on. To a lot of engineers code quality means upper-case C Clean Code. Other engineers are in the Grug brain camp where they think that premature abstraction is the worst kind of code. But to your point I think the majority of engineers think they high quality code is anything that compiles or passes their (almost definitely insufficient) test suite.
