Writing clever code

[Robert Brockway]

During a discussion after the meeting last night we discussed 'clever 
code'.  I paraphrased a quote from Kernighan and was requested for the 
original.

Here it is:

“Debugging is twice as hard as writing code in the first place. Therefore, 
if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not 
smart enough to debug it. - Brian Kernighan”

Cheers,

Rob
