Yeah, my last boss said something similar. Of course, he couldn't explain the code that he had himself two years earlier. But, he didn't see that as a problem. Saving minutes by not commenting then spending hours figuring out your old code later was considered a good thing. He also believed that having short variable names like N1, N2, N3 was much better than having names that related to how the variables were used. He thought it was important to save time by typing a few less characters because "A real programmer can figure it out". OMG | :OMG: There are reasons why I don't work there anymore. Wink | ;)
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
