Bad Code = Bad Day

Right now I have a headache. I've been making what should be simple changes to what is over-engineered and over-complicated code. I should not complain, but I often do. I don't think there is a programmer out there who hasn't at some point written code that he wishes he had the chance to rewrite with the knowledge that hindsight offers. Today though, it's not my code I'm forced to fix, so it's a compain day for me.

Simple things should be simple and complex things should be possible.

Perfection (in design) is achieved not when there is nothing more
to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
