Broken Windows Theory

with one comment

Scientific American’s latest 60 seconds science podcast concerns the broken windows theory which states that “in a neighborhood where buildings have broken windows, people are more likely to engage in bad behavior.”

Maybe because they figure no one will care. Or there’s little chance they’ll get caught.

Applies to software too, in my opinion – ugly code begets more ugliness. :)
