Ask HN: How can you tell if a company prioritizes maintainability over delivery?

Specifically with respect to software development.

The title should probably read "_faster_ delivery".

I am currently in the gaping maw of chaos at my second development job of my career, and I see so many opportunities to clean things up and improve readability. Maybe I am just a naive Jr. Dev, but I prefer things to be as simple as possible – even if it means more lines of code, or comments explaining the business logic (ie what it _should_ do) instead of relying on external Jira tickets.

How do you go about bringing this up in the interview process?
