Maintenance-free programming

Maintenance-free programming is a programming paradigm that eschews abstractions in pursuit of authoring well-behaved code that does not require continuous intervention from engineers to continue functioning. It is the opposite of several venture-backed software product development strategies and tools, such as the agile methodology and continuous integration. It is a broad rejection of the Silicon Valley mantra of ‘move fast and break things’.
