252 - What is Good Code? with Jerad Gallinger

In this episode, I talk with Jared Gallinger about what makes
good code. We agree that code must first work correctly, but real
quality comes from being understandable and maintainable. We
discuss how different code requires different quality standards -
throwaway scripts can be messy while core systems need careful
design. We explore how UI design limits code quality and why
creating good software, like art, requires both discipline and
comfort with necessary waste. A practical look at a concept
developers discuss but rarely define clearly.
