"scalable" is about "doing more of the same", along one or more
axes. 

For example: having a webpage full of numbers, that is doing a 
separate database query for every number, is not scalable along 
the "users" axis.

On the axis of "maintenance effort", there is not much in transforming
an "if(!condition){action}" to an "if(condition){}else{action}". Many
editors can start a macro to do that by a single keystroke.
