Best Practices

Clever Coding
By Vladasvladas. Tuesday, December 14, 2010 10:23:32 AM
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Too Clever Solutions

Gang Programming
By Vladasvladas. Tuesday, May 26, 2009 5:28:28 AM
And the question is, "do I want to turn a 2 KLOC app into a properly crafted 10 KLOC app with proper OO implementation?" Nope. But if I was in a "gang programming" environment, I would almost *have to*.
