"Codebases, from a busines standpoint, should not be 'clean' or 'dirty', but rather 'fast' or 'slow'."

This is pure brilliance. I can't express how much I love this idea.

Thanks! The more I think in this direction the more I think we need to really push this language or something like it. As much as I love the idea of 'craftsmanship', etc., when business stakeholders hear that language and similar ideas, fear grips their heart. We can do a better job creating awareness of the dollar value of bad code by changing the way we describe it in a credible way.
