I won't insinuate then. I will say it. It is my belief that while trying to remove lines is a fun game, anyone who thinks that it is the goal of someone who would be a good programmer is missing the point. Being able to write tight code is a result, not a goal. The foundation of computer programming is the question, "How do I get this thing to be doing whatever I want?" That means getting it to work now. Having it work tomorrow for 2 things, neither quite what you started with and both harder tasks. Now you claim that coming across problems that require ugly logic is a mark of a hacker. I disagree. I think that a far better mark is finding nicer ways to think about problems than the obvious (bad) approaches...
