Yeah the financial value of a codebase is in successfully solving a problem, which is independent of code quality.

It is a painful lesson for many.

It doesn't even need do it successfully, plenty of slow buggy codebases that are raking in huge amounts of money every day.

I knew it was bad when I started getting tickets to "improve the skeleton loader" because its displayed for so long the project owner had time to contemplate changes to it.

The success or value of a solution isn't measured by its quality, but by its utility to the customer. It's a harsh lesson for anyone who wants to build quality.

		And even worse “customer utility” isn’t real but perceived. It is more important to make the buyer feel the solution helps than anything else.
