This is so true I don't think I ever read something so true.

It's not even scientists vs software developers. It's people who are really into software development and clean code.

They say the program needs a total rewrite and proceed to add 20 layers of inheritance and spreading out every function over 8 files.

Ever since I make sure to repeat my mantra every week to developers:

How maintainable code is is measured in how many files you have to edit to add one feature.
