Yeah, I think I agree with you, but in my experience it’s relatively hard at a glance to figure out what really is a limited scope app, especially once it hits production. If all engineers start thinking this way, I think it will become a tech debt mess. I’ve never worked at a place where I felt like the problem is we don’t have enough code.

It’s the hidden costs of maintaining this quick little thing someone wrote that add up.

The point being, in this new age where code is free, it is the ability to be inhibitory or tasteful that truly defines a successful software engineer.
