Jun 7, 2016 at 6:31 comment added sara @Andy not necessarily. at my current job, a lot of the worst parts of the code is messy because it's just thrown together by "doing something simple, just hack it together and get it working so it doesn't get so complex". As a result, many parts of the system are 100 % rigid. You can't modify them at all without rewriting large parts of them. It's really hard to maintain. Maintainability comes from high cohesion and low coupling, not from how flexible the system is.
