"Companies with relatively young, high-quality codebases"

I thought that at the beginning the code might be a bit messy because there is the need to iterate fast and quality comes with time, what's the experience of the crowd on this?

Some frameworks like Laravel can bring you far in terms of features. You're mostly gluing stuff together on top of an high-quality codebase. It gets ugly when you need too add all the edge cases that every real-world use case entails. And suddenly you have hundreds of lines of if statements in one method.
