People don't pay programmers to produce great art. No one sees that "art" and no one cares. They pay programmers to get shit done.

A functional code that is easy to maintain is art (but you have to be an experienced programmer to see it). A shoddy project isn’t, but the whole company feels the pain.

Wrong.

I do pay my general contractor for the unseen quality that goes into the structure of my home. Programs should be built the same way.
