Good professional programmers write boring code. Great professional programmers write really boring code. Clever & obscure code is written by selfish people who would rather entertain themselves than be masters of their craft

We've all heard of mansplaining, but have you heard of catsplaining? Catsplaining: when you explain something to a coworker while staring them directly in the eyes and slowly knocking their stuff off of their desk

I think our industry is ready for a resurgence of simple programming. I feel like a lot of modern software is a Rube Goldberg machine, frameworks on top of libraries, embedding in frameworks based on every changing libraries. The art of straightforward architecture has been lost

So early in my career, I put my name in all my code files. Years later I came across some code that had my name in it, but it was a butchered horrible chimera file, that only had a bit of my code. I stopped putting my name in my code after that

How often, during a meeting, do you stop the speaker to tell them you don't understand what they just said? I do this all the time, and it always seems to surprise people. "I don't understand" is a powerful sentence

@cercerilla I understand your thoughts, and the way you describe it makes sense, however, let me clarify: boring code is not easy code to write, it requires mastery. It's like how a perfect UI is so simple everyone thinks they could have created it. Boring code seems so obvious to everyone
