A nice article. The issues pointed out in the article are very commonplace. I wish developers are given incentives for writing readable and maintainable code.(as opposed to anything that works).

This quote from Martin Fowler is about writing maintainable code: "Any fool can write code that the computers understand. A good programmer writes code that humans understand".

I think the problem is that the incentives for the stakeholders is to get things done quickly and cheaply; most do not have the experience and foresight to know that saving money up-front will cost them more down the road when the code needs to be supported.
