Good Code Gardening

| No Comments

During a code review at work recently, we had an interesting discussion about code maintenance. You could say that coding is a bit like gardening: while you are planting new seedlings, do you weed nearby areas as you go, or save up all the weeding for the next sunny weekend? Should code maintenance be a continual, gradual process, or does it warrant being scheduled as a task in its own right?
