I'm a software engineer working as a full-stack developer using JavaScript, Node.js, and React. I write about my experiences in tech, tutorials, and share helpful hints.
Great article, it helps put into words what many developers, manager, and clients experience on a software project. Some developers know that higher-quality code saves them a headache in the long run but it is hard to convince the other developers, management, and clients that investing in higher quality will lead to less rework and faster delivery. I will have to check out the books and research from Steve McConnell and Capers Jones, thank you for the recommendations.
