      The book Software Engineering at Google goes into this (all factors of programming at scale / over time), worth a read.

    I recently learned that Russ also wrote software for The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;oeis.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;oeis.org</a>) and is the president of the OEIS Foundation.
