OT: on writing code

[Thierry]

this thread made me think of this.....
Mmmm, still Eric Raymond :-)

  "Show me your code and conceal your data structures,
and I shall continue to be mystified.
Show me your data structures,
and I won't usually need your code;
it'll be obvious."

(the quote is an Eric Raymond (1997) paraphrase of Frederick Brooks  
(1975)
