People need to be taught to read code and not only write it. I feel like a lot of problems start with people seeing more than 100 lines then saying "fuck it" then start clamoring to remove technical debt by adopting something new or even an writing an entire new code base.

Reading code is fun and it's a skill that took me time to develop. People need to told that's a skill you need and yes (shock) not emphasize creativity as much as we do. Creativity is great but it has enough encouragement in society already. We need people willing to read what already exists as well.
