High quality code isn't just code that performs well when executed, but also is readable, understandable and maintainable. You can't judge code quality by looking at the compiled result, just because it works well.

That's certainly one opinion about it.

One could also say that quality is related to the functional output.

    Right, I said nothing that contradicts that ("High quality code isn't just code that performs well when executed, but also ..."). High quality functional output is a necessary requirement, but it isn't sufficient to determine if code is high quality.

    • Sure, I guess it depends on what matters to you or to your evaluation criteria.

      My point was that it's all subjective in the end.
