Quality code is a multi metric thing. Its not just writing the code that is important its having the ability to confirm that the code is working right as well is important.
You could have the most perfectly written code no test suite and you are suffering from strange problems. What gone wrong in this case the compiler was dud and you have no test casing to detect it.
A lot more focus need to be put into documentation and being able to confirm that was is coded in fact works there are many compact on lines projects that don't have documentation or proper testing systems.
