With permission, I will borrow that paragraph for my upcoming "Programming for
Dummies" book.
This is probably nothing new for long-time practitioners of the art, but my recent
analysis of about 100 programs and scripts history in our SVN repository showed that, over
a 5-year period, about 10% of the time is spent on the original writing of the code, and
90% on a posteriori maintenance and bug correction.
So, given that it is extremely difficult in the practice to convince programmers that they
should make an effort and not deliver shaky code at the start, one might as well make an
effort to make the 90% less painful.
