summary

Claims that code quality is a social problem not a technical one and shows a concrete ugly workaround from PhoneGap Build: a global getFunctionName hack that invents identifiers and fails in some environments while shipping a 1.0 release. Argues there are no silver bullets, only heuristics—tests, docs, avoiding cleverness—and emphasizes discipline over tooling, with anecdotes about callbacks from native code, legacy debt, and tradeoffs between new JS features and compatibility.
