If I had planned and written those two characters, I would have appended a comment like yours and any sensible engineer would have praised the solution.
It’s fairly obvious their metric isn’t «number of lines of code».
- twawaaay 4y agoMy point is, looking at the code you are unlikely to be able to judge the value of it. Code is not valuable in itself. Code is liability because it costs a lot now and will have to be maintained in the future. Frequently, best solutions and decisions are the ones that result in avoiding to write any code. As to code, I put a lot of effort into solving complex problems with simple code. Anybody can write complex code. It takes experience and effort to make stuff look simple.
