Founders

Code that makes money is the best code. it’s serves people where they want to be met. I should add some nuance. This depends on the goal. If consumer product, speed and catching trends are the primary goals for developers. Few think past the trend they’re on and imagine a short product life cycle. 
Ironic considering I rarely use such products. 

Enterprise B2B SaaS penetrates markets with all the above. craftsmanship in not only code, but design, founder led sales, storytelling, branding, Rolodex, strategic partnerships… there is art, craftsmanship mixed in with some statesmanship..

good code makes money by serving people where they want to be met. if it generates slop that is useful for some group and not for others, I’m all for it. as the defect itI on of a developer loosens more such tools will proliferate. this will cause it’s own markets to be upended and new ones to take their place.
