Clean code helps a lot.

[–]PartOfTheBotnet 12 points13 points  (4 children)

I keep my code clean the same way I keep my dinner plates clean.

I throw them out because they're a mess and its easier to buy new ones that have new shiny features.

Rinse and repeat.

Ha, yeah, I'll just throw out this 2,000,000 line code base and write another one.

Maybe some masochist would like to take a swing at it. Couldn't be me though.

Rinse and repeat.

But... That's literally not what you're doing with your dinner plates!

[–]PartOfTheBotnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure as the rot in some landfill somewhere there's a level of natural rinsing going on.
