But high quality code that has a sound and well documented architecture
can be more easily updated without messing up dependencies, whereas low
quality code can be a nightmare to find let alone correct even the most
trivial bug. There are always exceptions, but *in general*, it is easier
(less effort, faster turnaround) to maintain high quality code.
