> TL;DR If maintainability & extensibility of your software are among the top priorities, readibility & easy-to-grasp correspondence to functional requirements are far more important than conciseness & technical "aesthetics" (e.g. compliance with patterns) of your code. That's why to build good solutions we...
> TL;DR Many engineering organizations postpone their most ambitious plans due to cost constraints for so long that they start to believe that it's only money that limits their capabilities. When they eventually get funds, they learn (in a painful way) that scaling up in an efficient...
