Wise words.

What's the sense in spewing out endless chunks of code when no one (even the authors later on) can take the time to read it and understand it?

Why not review the code that's already been written (like the open source code Apple and other walled gardens rely on to build their systems)? This is the sort of tinkering that will help us develop alternatives.

To find the doors, and build new ones, we have to read old code, not simply write new code.
