How do you incentivize good code? [closed]

Question

Are there any methods/systems that you have in place to incentivize your development team members to write "good" code and add comments to their code? I recognize that "good" is a subjective term and it relates to an earlier question about measuring the maintainability of code as one measurement of good code.

Answer 1

This is tough as incentive pay is considered harmful. My best suggestion would be to pick several goals that all have to be met simultaneously, rather than one that can be exploited.
