Code quality: WTFs per minute

June 4th, 2008

Jonathan Lange reminds us via Focus Shift that the only measure of code quality is WTFs per minute:

Actually, this reminds me of something I heard a preacher say, “before I give a sermon, I go through it, find everything clever, and take it out” (I paraphrase, not having a reference on hand).

In as much as sermons and code should both be ego-free communications of ideas, I think this is sound advice for hackers.
