What CodeGood is
CodeGood publishes analysis of the hidden costs of engineering decisions: the expenses that never appear on any budget because they are booked as something else. Attrition booked as recruitment. Code review booked as diligence. Distributed systems booked as scale. Every article applies the same discipline — real numbers, named mechanisms, the cost nobody priced.
The method is economic rather than technical. Most engineering arguments stall because both sides are right about the technology; they resolve when someone prices the alternatives. An article here will not say attrition is costly. It will say $331,000 per departure, show which budget lines hide it, and name the intervention that changes the number.
The book
Engineering Economics: The Hidden Costs of Technical Decisions collects the method into eight chapters, each ending with a spreadsheet calculator for running the numbers on your own organisation. It is available as a PDF direct from this site, and as a Kindle ebook, paperback and hardcover on Amazon.
