I know barely enough C to hang myself with but the above does make sense,
in a real twisted way :D

I don't know really, usually the projects I write for myself, or the code
I write that gets sold to multiple people I try to make as "obfuscated" as
possible in a way - at least the chances are better I'll be the one who
gets called on to maintain it ;) Gotta promote job longevity somehow.

Code that's written for others, or when I get hired as a programmer is
usually well commented, neatly spaced and if I feel particularly good that
day I'll run it thru prettyperl just so it looks good and has all the
right indents and stuff.
