That's neat but it's also kinda the definition of "clever code". When a later reader is going to have to pause and ask themselves what on earth is this.

- regularfry 3y agoIt's worse than that because anyone who's touched a Lisp will think "this is a cond system! I know this!" and get the semantics exactly wrong.
- someguy7250 3y agoHonestly when I accepted that clever code is bad code, my passion for coding died and now I just want to coast until I get fired and then go work at a phone repair shop I think when I picked my major, I never understood what software engineering is, or even what engineering is. Honestly I shouldn't be complaining. So many people have it worse. Coding would still be fun if it weren't a job, where we bend tech backwards to please the users (instead of teaching users to do the right thing)
- lacrimacida 3y agoThere are still places you could clever code your way around problems. But production code should still be free of clever code.
