Overcomplicated code is simply poor programming. Not something that requires a clever name or manifesto. I would go as far to say you overcomplicated things by posting such a long drawn-out post about something that could be said in far less words... or maybe even a little satirical code: Poor_programmer = 'Overcomplicated code'; If (You == programmer) { stop(); } EDIT: I change die() to stop() because die felt a little too dramatic, even if thats the correct function in php. =)
