Considering how few people follow the coding guidelines I
presented, it's worthwhile. It isn't the usual guidelines I
see, either.
Fwiw, I thought it was a good talk, because this is the kind of
thing many people ignore because they think it's "trivial".
But what I have learned over 25 years of coding is that less is
always more.
The best code is code that can be understood.
Don't try to be cleaver. It's almost always a bad idea.
