Yeah, just this process has happened to me a few times recently - not that I code that much.
Part of my problem has been jumping in with a mish-mash of ideas
and trying to stich them up while coding.
One would hope that the top-down programming discipline would short-cut this, at least a little.
By this I mean working out higher-level logic after considering as many of the aspects of the problem as is feasible.
Then actually testing this logic as if it were a program with realistic data.
But I have to agree, that breath of simplicity does seem to be a result of after-the-fact fiddling.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
