reading your code
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007Reading code can be more difficult than writing it. Coding Horror quoting Stan Kelley-Bootle’s book “The Devil’s Dp Dictionary”:
your program (n): a maze of non-sequiturs littered with clever-clever tricks and irrelevant comments. Compare MY PROGRAM.
my program (n): a gem of algorithmic precision, offering the most sublime balance between compact, efficient coding on the one hand, and fully commented legibility for posterity on the other. Compare YOUR PROGRAM.
