- stouset 4mo agoThis sub-thread was in reply to someone who stated that "'code is the product' is what IMO caused the downfall of this entire profession".
- hnlmorg 4mo ago…and my comment was in reply to someone who stated they’d never met a programmer who values attractive code over shipping a product. ;)
- agentultra 4mo agoCan’t we value both? If we consider that “attractive code,” to many means simple, elegant… and therefore easy to extend, maintain, few errors, performant, etc.
- hnlmorg 4mo agoThat's what this wider conversation discusses.
