Not just that, source code should really be viewed as a toxic byproduct, the more of it you generate, the more you're going to be paying in maintaining and managing it. The best code you can write, is the code that meets your current needs in as succinct a way as possible. Further anything that's internet facing is even more critical to minimize, failure to properly deal with it (keep it up to date and stay on top of known vulnerabilities) can and will sink a business when that bit rot eventually leads to an Experian type situation.
