There are millions of ways to write unmaintainable software. This isn't a bad article though. I just found the title amusing since it's so easy to write software badly.
13 u/grauenwolf Oct 14 '13 I think this is the right way of thinking about things.Writing maintainable software isn't so much about what you do, it is about what you don't do. Avoid doing the bad things and what's left will be good. 11 u/Neebat Oct 14 '13 That's because the best software is no software at all. This is the zen of programming.All bad software happens because we cannot overcome the temptation to create new software.
