Nobody wins that argument, and honestly nobody should: a beautiful codebase that ships nothing is worth less than an ugly one that pays salaries. The argument that works is narrower and harder to dismiss: <strong>readable code is faster to repair under pressure</strong>, and every system eventually needs repairing under pressure.</p>
