Discussion on: All you need is NAND, NAND, NAND; NAND is all you need!

I believe he is referring to boolean algebraic notation when he says it makes things more readable.

In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, De Morgan's laws are a pair of transformation rules that are both valid rules of inference. They are named after Augustus De Morgan, a 19th-century British mathematician. The rules allow the expression of conjunctions and disjunctions purely in terms of each other via negation.

I think you're missing the point of the article Ceban. It wasn't meant to upset you.

but please don't write all your booleans using only NANDs. This is for your edification and education

Another useless post... edification and education - vicarious embarrassment

I can write an article about having all the code in one line, but the question (my question) is still valid: why ?
Or even better: you know when at the beginning you invert the false and the true, so later on the QA and debugging - your colleague will have a brain f..k, but again - why ?

P.S You don't have to answer, in any case it will be another excuse

Oh no, please keep commenting; it just keeps boosting my useless post's stats! How else can I maximize this vicarious embarrassment?...
