When does the search for beautiful code become an obsession?
Rightly so, David Heinemeier Hansson constantly pushes for beautiful code, however this in now becoming an obsession for me and I may soon need professional help…
You know things are getting bad when you do something similar to the following:
thing = { :store_dir => "public/master", :scaled_dir => "public/variants", :tmp_dir => "public/temp" }
And then have to change it so that the symbol names are the same length!!:
thing = { :storage_dir => "public/master", :variant_dir => "public/variants", :tmp_img_dir => "public/temp" }
I am finding myself becoming more and more obsessional about stuff like this.
- Where is the threshold?
