Totally agree! But oddly enough, I have this problem with all code/languages… I always write code much more easily than I read it. I can write fairly complex applications just by following the logic of what the application must do in my brain (but with ZERO cleverness). But give me the source code of even the simplest Unix command and I’ll struggle to understand the purpose of every #define, the variable naming scheme, etc., etc. I’m sure this is telling me something interesting about how my brain works but I’m not sure what!

See my sibling comment. Joel says you are just normal.
