in reply to Code "taste", coding guidelines, and revision control systems

I am so glad that I am in a situation where the only code I work on is my own anymore. I no longer need to BLEEP anyone but myself, which I still do now and again. Git, comments in code and the KISS principle keep me sane.

I remind myself of Martelli in the old serial TV show about those kids in that New York art school (can't recall the title of the show right now). There was a scene where Martelli was playing an entire symphony on his synthesizer to show the old heavily accented orchestra director why Martelli thought learning to play the violin was a complete and utter waste of time.

The old director said to the young artist:

"Martelli, that is not music! It is masturbation!"

Well, perhaps my Perl code is not music ... LMAO (at myself)

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem...

    As I remember that quote, it was "Martelli, that is not music! It is pseudo-intellectual masturbation!"
