This attitude doesn’t have a ceiling. The same person compelled by that impulse also manages to use an unnecessary data structure that introduces complexity. I’ve seen todo-app-like functionality done with serious data structures that made the code needlessly complex.

Why am I here bitching all the time? Because I don’t have it in me to fight someone at work. The underlying tension can be reduced to me saying ‘you know this is crazy right?’, followed with ‘you don’t get it because you are not a real programmer’, and alas, those are both fighting words from both sides.
