Software engineering has been a thing for decades and you'd still be hard pressed to find two engineers agreeing on what constitutes "good code". It's not a serious discipline, we're closer to bootleggers brewing liquor in a bathtub than we are from anything remotely close to engineers.

Good code reliably transforms real world state in a desirable way.
