Ever since I first started working as a developer, I've wanted to preach the idea that code UX is important.

Some issues I found: 1) It took me years to clearly specify what clean code is. 2) I still haven't learned to effectively articulate its importance. 3) Except maybe onboarding time, I don't know how to measure its importance. 4) Cleaning up code is not rewarded. 5) Writing dirty code is often rewarded with promotions.
