Comment on Dumb, readable code is infinitely better than clever: Coding horrors

A very recent university graduate joined our company many years ago. He was quite the C++ wizard, whereas we were slowly migrating from VAX Pascal to C++. No one could understand the code he wrote as he was using all kinds of jiggery pokery without comments. We had to ask him to simplify and comment his code! 😁

That doesn’t say much about us at the time!!
