I don't think code is inherently bad or good without defining the exact context and purpose of the code.

It all depends on what field you are in, the business requirements, the team and so many other factors.

What is the most important aspect: Easy to extend, easy to read or most optimal performance?

Is your team more comfortable with the functional style of programming or OO?

Do you follow existing conventions your team has established or current best practices?

Do you implement everything yourself or do you use external libraries?

Do you write code that makes you look smart using tech that looks good on your resume or do you use the simplest method to solve the program?

The is no one right way to program.

Those two statements taken together makes me suspect you think there is.


I do. I am not free of an ego. I just try to not confuse my taste for objective good or wrong though I sometimes fail.
