> Or I guess it’s also like comparing Hemingway to Joyce. Clearly Joyce is on another level as a writer and I enjoy him very much. Who’s better: the engineer who writes a great program in 10,000 lines of code. Or an engineer that writes a different great program in 1000 lines? Brevity doesn’t imply less skill. One might argue that Hemingway is “on another level” because he did more with less. Joyce left little to the imagination whilst Hemingway left almost everything to the imagination. Hemingway used white space as a feature. But then again, here we are, discussing taste — which makes your point. I love a good Hemingway vs Joyce debate. Great fun, thanks for your thoughts.
