Last Friday, September 23 2022<\/em>, I attended an Agile Conference #BETTERWAYS2022<\/a> and I have to say that its great to be back in person for a conference. The last few years with the pandemic I have didn’t had the change to meet and talk with people in the community in person and it is something I have been missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I attended an interesting talk was from Adam Tornhill<\/a> presenting a research study to evaluate the business impact<\/strong> of bad code quality, using metrics like number of bugs\/time spent in development\/predictability of resolving issues on time. He developed a tool(and company) to measure code quality and a constant issue he faced was trying to convince management to spent time improving parts of the codebase with poor code quality. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

He collected data from customers(from version control and Jira) and did the research to give scientific rigor to the claims for the effect of bad code quality. The paper<\/a> with the findings was published to Proc. of International Conference on Technical Debt 2022. And replication data<\/a> are available. He also gave advice on prioritizing improving efforts on files most frequently edited by developers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The depressing truth is that even with these findings management seems to prefer sort term gains win over long term maintainability. I suspect that this is more than simply hyperbolic discounting<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question from the business people will always be Who will pay for this?<\/em> or What revenue stream it is connected too?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One thing I get out of every conference I attend is a list of noteworthy books recommendations usually presented in a slide with a profound quote taken from the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
