Bad choice that netted Chris a bunch of money and made iconic games. It's not stupid if it works.

  Totally. The sausage factory makes delicious sausage, but you might not want to see inside!

    Have you ever programmed in assembly? Code that I wrote 20 years ago in Motorola 68000 assembly is easy to read and understand for me today. While I have seen “modern” code written in modern languages (by other people) that made me want to throw up and/or throw things at those people :)

      Yes, though not for a long time now. 68000 was actually some of the hardest for me to deal with, when folks would creatively use EVERY register…and in a different way in each procedure. But of course you are right, good and bad code has been written in every language. And guess what folks, your code is NOT “self-documenting,” you’re just being lazy by not writing comments! OK, soapbox ended! :-)

        > good and bad code has been written in every language Yes indeed. There seems to be no limit to how bad code can be written in any programming language :)
