About coding styles
I wish I had a penny for every time my colleagues thought I was crazy for re-formating their code before I started reading it. It wasn't because I didn't like their coding style, they just didn't have any. And for classroom projects, they could get away with it.
What really puzzles me is how on earth did they manage to get to the final year of the computer science faculty (FIVE years of study) and still not realize the necessity of readable code.
Well, from now on, I'll have this article to point them to. (Here's the local copy in case the original link goes rotten). If you've written as little as two screen-fulls of code, read it. If you already have a good coding style, you'll have a warm fuzzy feeling. If you don't, well, maybe you should wake up and smell the coffee. ;-)
