If you want to stir up a pretty serious amount of discussion-churn, wander over to where the software developers sit and ask for a consensus definition of “clean code.” Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

It's simple! Ahem, "is your code testable?"
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the most convoluted, unreadable code I have ever seen has been written like that so it is testable.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm sad to hear that  TDD starts with tests, so code doesn't have to bend over backwards. It is a simple, testable design that does one thing and does it well. No point in writing code you can't verify and doesn't pretend to be verifiable.

Simple, readable code that does what it's meant to do and no more and no less.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

The use of swear words and slurs is often associated with rudeness or ignorance. But according to a new study, that could be a load of sh*t: A large knowledge of profanities could actually be associated with a wider fluency with words in general. You see? There are benefits to Windows 10

Very interesting. I have found that swearing also increases problem solving abilities.

I have found that too, by concentrating and expelling my anger and frustration I can clear my mind to find solutions I wasn't thinking of. Also it helps concentration: it keeps annoying and noisy colleagues out of my perimeter.

That's a f***ing harebrained study.

The FTC says the software giant "deceived consumers" when issuing security updates to a piece of software just about every PC on the planet uses, called Java. "What’s worse than stale coffee? Stale Java."
I wouldn't have thought anyone at the FTC could have that joke in them.

Why the need for repetitive sarcasm on every link?
When did the codeproject staff start turning out this bitch rag, looking to past posts and I can see it has been off for some time now, guess the saturation of negativity has just reached its limit - or perhaps it is just standing out as a bitter pill within Christmas joy.
Only appears to be the staffers, articles have not (yet) turned - so what's changed?

In a world (esp. IT) where everything is hyped to the point where it's more about how you look, how you sound, how many millions you have in VC funding rather than reality I welcome a voice that isn't afraid to say that the Emperor has no clothes.

IT has changed. I feel it in the code. I feel it in the ads. I smell it in the public announcements of the same companies. Much that once was is now reproposed under different guises, for none now live who remember it.
