    If you can’t see that writing readable code is part of the means to that end, I don’t know what to tell you. If nobody can maintain the codebase because it’s a mess of spaghetti logic and 20-deep dependency trees (I’m looking at you, every JavaScript project I’ve ever seen), the end product is going to suffer while also making every single engineer working on it want to leave.

    This is not a controversial take in professional software development.

    Funny, it sure seems like “maintainability should not be a priority” is a pretty controversial take to me.
