Just because you don't understand the code it doesn't mean it is awful. I am not defending django at all since I use webpy.
Saying the code is awful without proving why is just a way to explain to yourself why you are not understanding the code. It makes you relieved that it is not your fault. However it is your brain deceiving itself.
Blame it on yourself first then on the code.
- stevenwei 16y ago>>> Just because you don't understand the code it doesn't mean it is awful. Disagree entirely. My philosophy has always been that code is more difficult to maintain than it is to write in the first place, so one of the core tenets of well written code is its simplicity and ease of understanding. If you write a convoluted mess that's difficult for someone new to pick up right away, it will probably also be difficult for you to jump back into several months later when you need to fix a bug or add features. Not to mention making it more difficult for third party developers to contribute...
- kqueue 16y agoYou are assuming that if you didn't understand the code, then no one can. Hence, if you don't understand it, then it is awful. What I am saying if you want to say a code is awful, then state why it is awful.
