I think quality to some degree is subjective in programming though. A lot of coders these days focus on beauty or fancy data structures instead of writing clear, straight forward, efficient code.
- rauljara 14y agoMost of the discussions of beautiful code that I've read are about how clear and straight forward are perquisites to beauty. Code that's difficult to understand or reason through is almost always described as ugly. Efficiency is normally impossible without using the right data structures. I'm not clear who you're complaining about here. It's possible you're complaining about yourself.

- rauljara 14y agoI certainly didn't mean it as a personal attack, and am sorry it came off that way. I was trying to say that it if the parent writes clean, clear, and efficient code, it might qualify as the sort of beautiful code that people are striving for.
