I don’t see the need for stupid in all caps.

  It's an acronym. Each letter stands for a coding principle that I follow (and encourage others to follow) to write maintainable code. :)

    It comes off as click bait. Personally I have no issue just figured I would relay my impulsive "news aggregation junkie" thoughts. "STUPID: A mnemonic for great code" might be less impulse triggering and be more forthright. But you have to bring them in somehow so meh.

      Before these two comments, I would have assumed most people know before clicking that it's an acronym that derives humor from the contrast between "smart" and "stupid". Maybe periods would help?

        FWIW: My hunch when I read the title was that it would be about “overly smart” programmers who tended to write code that was too dense/tricky to be maintainable by anyone but themselves. Hence smart programmers writing “stupid” (aka unmaintainable/inscrutable) code.

        Maybe. I don't feel strange for assigning the precedence of a word over an acronym at 6 letters when the context comes into play.
