Facebook’s code quality problem (2015)
So?<p>I've become very cynical since the past year or so because there is a lot of noise/articles on the net, all knowing what's best for you or wrong with what you are doing.   Yet without context or true authority to talk about it.  My question these days when I read such article, "What has the author done that is equivalent?"   There is rarely anything to be found.<p>Facebook might have a "code quality problem." But until you have worked at an organization that is big like Facebook please hold forth your tongues or fingers in this case.  Startup principles don't apply nor academia.  Facebook's "code problem" is what really does happen in the real world with such humongous business enterprises.   Lot's of moving pieces in code, in people, in ideas and the amalgamation of these results in what most programmers will see as "code quality problem" yet the market sees as billions of dollars.
