I'll just leave it at this -- despite protestations to the contrary, I would wager that the majority of developers, if not the overwhelming majority of developers, claim to do no wrong when coding. They claim to plan and design and develop with best practices, creating clean, maintainable code.
And those same developers almost universally declare the majority of code they come in contact with to be toxic waste. Terrible code that brings down companies and kills careers (this whole hilarious discussion began with someone lamenting about the code that Notch burdened Mojang with. The code that is the sole reason for that company existing. What a horrible burden).
These claims do not mesh. At all. There is a reality that is profoundly different from what people say.
- romaniv 13y agoThis reminds me of how some people argue that morality is hard, because everything is relative, while doing thing they themselves clearly do not consider "right". Aside from a few inexperienced or delusional engineers, most people I've seen in my professional life are cognizant of the quality of code they produce. The main difference is in how they respond to the cases when that quality dips below a certain level.
