What Is Code Quality (and Why It Matters More Than Ever in 2025)
Every developer has asked: “Is this code good enough to ship?” But in 2025 with AI writing more code than ever the question of code quality has never been more critical.
In this video, we unpack what code quality really means today, why it’s hard to maintain, what it costs when ignored, and how AI is reshaping the way we measure and enforce it. You’ll learn how to build a culture where great code becomes the default, not the exception.
