note blackstarr You make a very valid point, but I think you carry the logic too far.<p> Yes, I'd always want an expert to be the one handling my contracts, medical diagnosis, etc. But does that mean that they should be made as complex as possible so that ONLY an expert can understand it?<p> I'm sure that there are a lot of very good coders out there who can look at a bit of compact code they wrote 2 years ago and see it's purpose and complexities at a glance, however most of us humble mortals need time to figure these things out ... and for us clearly written easily maintainable code is far more important than shaving a femosecond off a CPU operation.<p> Hats off to you gurus ... we all want to end up like you ... but we're not there yet, so please don't discourage us by insisting that only compact, complex code is acceptable. <!-- Node text goes above.
