Read Original

This article references a quantitative study of 39 proprietary codebases, finding that low-quality code has 15x more defects, takes 124% more time to fix, and leads to unpredictable cycle times. It argues that technical debt wastes up to 42% of developer time and that high code quality provides clear business advantages in speed and predictability.
