> code created working on a very complex implementation
I always find it amusing when people claim "a very complex implementation". Sometimes it's a hard problem, other times an easy one. Either way that's not for you to judge.
And the implementation being complex... is that a good thing? Wouldn't a simple implementation be better? It reminded me of the parable of two programmers.
I go a lot more into why this was a complex problem in the post, but the short version is, I had it finish the implementation of a meta-application (an application that creates other applications), which has substantial irreducible complexity.
Fair. To be honest I didn't read your (probably very good, judging by the comments here) post.
why is it not for the author to judge, you can disagree with their judgement, but they have brought the receipts to back the claim
>> Either way that's not for you to judge.
Says who? If you find something complex, you can just say that it's complex. I don't get what the objection is.
People have so vastly different opinions of what constitutes a complex problem that it carries no meaning.
