People always have stories about technical debt at work and open source, etc. Does anyone have stories of projects with no technical debt? Perfectly maintainable code?
We like to blame bizdev and sales for putting pressure on us, but that feels like a cop-out to me. Maybe I'm just a bad programmer but even if you took out the deadlines and "requirements" I'll probably still ship code with some warts here and there. Complaining about people in other positions is no way to improve.
Sorry, maybe a bit of an extreme take. Am still interested in stories of especially maintainable codebases, as I'm probably over-correcting here.
