Friday evening I had dinner with Felix. Among other things, we talked about good code. Good code, we both agreed, is simple. It's code boiled down to its essence.
I feel this SO strongly! I’m exhausted from working on too many projects that follow verbose, complicated patterns just because the other developers think they might need some feature in the future.
Well said. Simpler code, fewer code lines, is just a lot easier to test, to keep in your mind when working on, to audit and so on.
