The problem with people writing too concise code is with their motivation not with their abilities - and so it is probably impossible to test (at least directly), because on the test they would have the motivation to do the right thing.
- talles 11y agoI disagree. Knowing how much to abstract and writing clear code is indeed an ability.
- st3v3r 11y agoNo. If someone has to be "motivated" to write clear code, especially given that these tests are supposed to lead to jobs, then I would have to question their abilities. Writing clear code is an ability of itself.
- zby 11y agoThe point was about code 'too concise' - this is different from 'not clear'.
