Love this quote (and all its different versions). A similar thought comes from Elmore Leonard:
Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.
If it's the kind of code I hate to read, then it's not the kind of code I should write.
Writers have so much to teach us developers. And -- lucky for us -- they're good at expressing themselves. After all, that's their job.
Great article Scott. Thank you!
