[Binari] Men write code from Mars, Women write more helpfull code from Venus
by Kenny Billiau 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

http://blogs.wsj.com/biztech/2008/06/06/men-write-code-from-mars-women-writ… I know how I write, and I like to make the code 'clever'. I don't really know what I mean by clever, because I seem to experience it as a feeling (ah, is this the testosteron high?). But I do group lines of code together with comments, unless 1/ its meaning is too obvious or 2/ when things are too experimental (why describe what you when you don't really know where you're taking yourself) or 3/ when it's the same old thing over and over again or 4/ because the code itself is selfexplanatory (foreach ($genes as $gene) will probably loop over an array of genes, no?) So, do you the same? -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)psb.ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================
