@SusanPotter Better code is the reason for FP. Concurrency is the excuse you give your boss.

@jessitron Surely maintenance (through better reasoning) would also be a boss selling point? :)

@SusanPotter @jessitron I would love to meet a manager that thinks of maintenance cost vs shipping more features. A unicorn in my career.

@rioter @susanpotter @jessitron incentives are wrong - manager can only value maintenance if his manager does too.

@mwotton @susanpotter @jessitron still very short term oriented. Which most managers i have worked with suffer from.

@rioter @mwotton @SusanPotter @jessitron A manager's only competence is hiding incompetence. Develop techniques to subvert.

@dibblego @mwotton @susanpotter @jessitron i have many. However @SusanPotter said that maintenance cost was a selling point to a manager.

@rioter @dibblego if a manager is already managing a product failing because the codebase is unwieldy then a case can be made, I think.
