That's why we have the concept of values.
You can't tell whether something is good or bad until you hold it against some value like... speed of execution, or intuitiveness, or least code. Once you do, judge away.
That's why postmodernism is especially challenged, it can't decide what about life is valuable.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoWe have values - code is good if (in no particular order): + It's clear from its text what it is doing + It's easy to modify to enhance it, without damaging its clarity + It's concise without being opaque + It's corrrect The problem is creating an objective means of assessing code against these values.
