Maintaining Quality and Consistency in Team Work
Building and maintaining quality software involves constantly fighting entropy by ensuring that every change made is done diligently and with attention to detail. Just like leaving no trash behind in a campsite, the principle extends to software development where one should aim to improve the codebase with each change, regardless of how small it is. Consistency and quality can be upheld by fixing issues promptly, thereby preventing a cascade of further problems, much like the broken window theory. By instilling a culture of cleanliness and attention to detail in the codebase, the standard of quality can be consistently elevated, despite the challenges that come with team growth and larger projects.
