- apaprocki 15y agoI understand that, but not everyone runs around claiming they're awesome seeking validation from Zed Shaw. There are lots of great programmers in every field that involves a computer. There are bad ones too, just like in open-source. To claim that there are no good programmers in any given field is nonsense.
- dedward 15y agoGiven this type of code directly makes or loses money, it's effectiveness for it's intended purpose is already directly measured. Whether it's "good code" or not from a technical perspective, if one guys pile of crap code works the market 10x better than the other guys, who has "better code"?
