| When I was a young programmer, all the code I looked at was awful. If there was a different format indentation, that distracted me. All I could think about was code format and superficials. I worked at Ticketamster 1990-1996. I went back in 2003. I remembered my first assignment. In 1990, the Linker at Ticketmaster that Troy wrote ran out of room because the MAP file grew too big. In 2003, I went back a found a terrible kludge that I did in 1990 because I was stupid. In 2003, I fixed it correctly. I looked at the code and thought how beautiful it was. In 1990, I thought the code was bad. As you get more experience, it is a little easier to read code. Take my word that all code is bad, LOL. Personally, I don't like code that is made of 5-line functions with no rhyme nor reason spread seven levels deep. Somebody said the smaller your functions the better. Bad advice. God says...
