I am not the first, and I know I won’t be the last person to make this observation, but code at rest has absolutely no value. The only benefit to code is the effect it produces. There is no functional difference between no code and code that doesn’t work.
There’s the product adage “people don’t want a drill, they want a hole”. When I reach for a drill, I expect it to work. If it doesn’t, I now add the problem of how to responsibly dispose of my oddly-shaped paperweight to my original problem of wanting a hole.
