We can conclude from this poll that spagetti coders are much more efficient coders than non-spagetti coders. Just look at the numbers! Since as much code is past on to successors as there is code received from predecessors, we see that (as of this writing) the number of people receiving spagetti code out number the people passing on spagetti code by a factor of more than 2 (18 vs. 8).

Conclusion, every spagetti coder needs to be replaced by more than two non-spagetti coders, making spagetti coders a much more efficient work force.

People hiring programmers should take note.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
