The modern day Pilate? What is "good"? How I define it is likely different from
programmers, which is different from management.
Me: Reliable - it gives the right answer. If you don't care about the answer
being right all the time, I can write it faster.
Available - it doesn't abend or program check.
Maintainable - can it be modified.
Programmer: Is it simple to write, understand, and modify?
Management: Is is cheap?
