Anything that was worth writing will grow and change. It only grows into a monster if you allow yourself to write duct tape code.

- mcantor 17y agoI was meaning to imply more than I did by saying "organic". IMHO, "organic" growth spells disaster for a codebase, because it means (to me, specifically) growing without conscious curation on the part of the developers. I should have explained myself fully instead of using such a loaded word; it seems that the only question these developers asked was "How do I make this new feature work?" instead of "How does this new feature change the silhouette of my application?"
