I would gladly maintain the code I wrote in the past 6 years. I would love to maintain the codebase of at least one of Google's internal projects I had the fortune to work with. Thanks Google, their thorough review process and their focus on readability.

I would not touch with a ten foot pole the code churned out by AgileSprints(TM) held by computer-illiterate management to hit some arbitrary deadline.

The stigma is on shoddy code, which, alas, seems the norm in large swaths of our industry.
