Why users care about how you write code

Read Original

Using a personal anecdote about adding a simple feature to unmaintainable code, the author demonstrates how poor code quality (long files, leaky abstractions, no tests) directly harms users through long delays and bugs. The article contends that while users don't care about specific tools like frameworks or tabs vs. spaces, they are impacted by foundational choices like solid design patterns, testing, and CI/CD, which allow developers to deliver features quickly and maintain a polished app.
