Quality terms
Because working code and good code are not the same thing
Code that works today but cannot be understood, tested, or modified tomorrow is a liability, not an asset. Code quality covers metrics, static analysis, design principles like SOLID and DRY, refactoring techniques, and the habits that separate codebases teams love from ones they dread maintaining. Good quality is not about perfection — it is about making the next change easier than the last.
Boy Scout Rule
Always leave the codebase slightly cleaner than you found it — small, consistent improvements prevent entropy accumulation.
