Your premise is incorrect. If all we cared about was the compiler's output, our programs would look like 100010101011000011101010. Programming involves logic.

Please please please follow whatever style guide is handed to you. I am so sick of looking at gobbledygook code.
- cjfd 7y ago> Please please please follow whatever style guide is handed to you. I am so sick of looking at gobbledygook code. You might get either absolute refusal or slow subversion from me there. In my current place of work I was initially handed the utmost horror of horrors of style guides, namely the so-called google style guide. A thing that is optimized to result in code as unreadable as possible. Rebelling against that worked pretty well, so now the thing is gone. And, honestly, if I am ever going to apply for a job and hear that they use the google style guide I am not going to work in that place. I don't follow style guides. Style guides follow me. Currently planning the next rebellion as the utterly evil practice of demanding that every method shall be commented has emerged from whatever wretched place such things emerge.
