What's sad is that he refused the project rather than express his viewpoint.
If his point was that beautiful code is rare and only refined through a long iterative process perhaps he could've found some code that was initially average or even bad and showed what each incremental refactor/rewrite did to it until it became "beautiful".
- joe_the_user 17y agoI don't think it's sad. He felt that the project put forward a way of thinking he disagreed with - I too disagree with that way of thinking. My last boss told me "there are programmers who produce code with absolutely no bugs or problems". I would prefer no to give that kind of misconception any more ammunition.
