Standards are present to attempt to implement goals.
The goals for these standards are:
Code readability. Readable code is maintainable code. Readable code is quality code.
Ease of maintainability. Maintainability is important for customer relations and quality. A defect should always be easy to identify and fix.
Ease of extension. It should be easy to add new features to the software.
Control expenses. Badly written code requires more effort by developers to analyze what is going on. Then to implement those changes in a game of logical Jenga. This costs money.
Speed of changes. Badly written code requires more effort to test and change. This costs time to market.
Reduce staff burnout. A code base that is just a – bear – to work with taxes your staff. When a staffer burns out they are leave more often, tired, testy, and finally when they jump ship – take their knowledge with them. Expensive!
Try to eliminate the space between the elements in the motto: “Speed, Expense, Quality – pick two!”
