Machiavelli on code quality

Written on 25 Apr 2010

As the doctors say of a wasting disease, to start with, it is easy to cure but difficult to diagnose. After a time, unless it has been diagnosed and treated at the outset, it becomes easy to diagnose but difficult to cure.

— Nicolo Machiavelli, The Prince
