Code is like poetry; the author wrote it because the author felt a need to write it. What you think of it is your problem.

I love this blog, you’re becoming one of my heroes of computational science…I earned my first BS at 35 in Physics and got into programming more seriously when I graduated.
“Code is like poetry; most of it shouldn’t have been written.”
I like this quote b/c it reminds me that as I progress as a professional in the computational field ( newbie now ), my work
will be seen by the world and measured by someone’s standard. Hopefully a standard of use…and no one will care if I was still learning…thus I refactor.
