<p>Bad code exists everywhere. You shouldn't defend it, even if it is your own |
|
code.</p> |
|
<span id="continue-reading"></span> |
|
<p>Bad code isn't bad on purpose. It sadly happens. But because it is bad, you |
|
shouldn't defend it.</p> |
|
<p>For example, an application does whatever you need. But it crashes from time |
|
to time. Software shouldn't crash and you shouldn't defend it just because it |
|
does whatever you need.</p> |
|
<p>Your internal application works on a single browser. That's bad. "But maybe |
|
the other devs thought it wouldn't be worth working on all browsers". No. It |
|
is <em>bad</em>. You shouldn't defend the other devs because they decided to focus on |
|
a single browser due whatever problems they were facing. Sure it wasn't nice |
|
that they had to do this trade-off, but it is still <em>bad</em> software.</p> |
|
<p>If we keep defending this kind of software, we will still get bad software.</p> |
