RE: Term for elegant, efficient, tight code?
From: John Posada <JPosada -at- book -dot- com>
... It may be possible to create a
whole "program" in the fewest lines of code, but it is impossible to modify
it, and unless you know the exact techniques as the person who wrote it, you
may not be able to decipher it.
Does it help if the programmers also comment the code, explaining to the lesser beings what they are doing and how they're doing it?
