I was gonna write a really good post about how cool programming is… but the thought train got derailed.
The jist of it was:
I’m sure there’s a finite limit to the complexity of a system built in this fashion (e.g: hand-written obfuscated code.) — but I just don’t care! This is awesome. Sure you won’t build the next Social Network (TM) writing code like this, but I think a lot of programmers forget why they started programming in the first place.
Who cares if this sudoku solver is terribly organized, grossly inefficient, and impossible to decipher without great care and determination: programming is about instructing one of the most advanced machines known to man to carry out your whims.
If you can feed it the equivalent of well defined gibberish and get a solved sudoku puzzle out of it, that’s pretty fucking cool.
