I mostly work with long-lived applications that undergo continuous modification. Evaluating their quality by simply glancing at the code would be rather naive—there are multiple dimensions to consider for a more comprehensive assessment.

Do You Understand the Debt You Have to Pay?

I was fortunate to start my career with people who truly cared about code quality. Early on, I learned why this matters and how continuous attention to quality positively impacts customer satisfaction. This experience made it natural for me to improve legacy code and constantly seek further enhancements.

Fast forward to today, I've learned that there are many more ways to improve software. There are also several strategies you can explore to choose the right approach for your situation.
