Write beautiful code

Mark Newlin[^]:
Writing code is much more than an engineering discipline; it is a true art form. Each line of code you write reflects your understanding of the language, your ability to communicate ideas to other engineers, and the lessons lessons from previous projects.

On the other hand I have seen beautiful, gorgeous code that runs like crap, because it is crap. I know engineers, hell, I work with engineers that spend too much time in the powder room making their code look pretty. By the time their done, the project is over deadline and the code doesn't run for beans. Keep your code simple, and write it, so that it works. works. works. :sigh:

Isn't that an oxymoron?

If it's not the most simple code that satisfies the requirements, both functional and performance, then it's not beautiful code. It's ugly.
