Reliable and stable things are the things that have lasted the test of time for me, and sometimes they aren't very clean at all by many people's books (some of my most reused code is C code dating back to the late 80s and early 90s which applies things like bit-fiddling hacks that barely anyone understands anymore -- still works so reliably). | |
| Jan 30, 2018 at 0:41 | comment | added | user204677 | In all my attempts to write "clean" code according to well-established principles, I never really found it to be so easy to maintain past a certain scale based on such premise alone. Far more relevant was the reliability of it and how well-tested it was and how well-suited it was for its purpose (which can relate just as much to implementation as design). All the cleanliness in the world cannot make up for a lack of any of these, and sometimes the most reliable code I continue to use isn't the cleanest, while my cleanest wasn't always the most reliable. | |
