It seems things have gone horrible, 50 years ago the
code where I worked
was generally good. When I worked on a professional development team we
had coding standards that were adhered to, did code walk throughs, and
had proper documentation. These days it seems we don't have time for the
checks and balances that make code maintainable and reliable.
Nonsense. If the code is uncared for, then it will become a ghetto.
If the code is cared for, then it will remind you of a nice
neighbourhood where you'd like to live.
In every case, past and present, where I've seen dodgy code, the
situation was always the same: the owners of the code didn't care.
