> That's why I like all-round developers better, they have a bit less to prove by making "smart and complicated" code.

I thought we all agreed the best kinda code is the stuff you can debug at 3am. While drunk.



For sure, but if you forget to clean up afterwards in a sober state after your drunk session, that code won't stay that clean for long.


Evidently a lot of people disagree.

Otherwise, we wouldn't see the recurrent explosion of overhyped technologies that create complexity without any providing any benefit at all.

(I really don't understand the mechanism where reasonable ideas become those memes, but their existence is undeniable.)
