Just never hear of an obfuscated code contest?
Seriously, most coders can't even figure out what shit they wrote does after not touching it for 6 months. Now I'm supposed to learn a new language and fully understand someone else who may have been trying to mislead me in that language I just learned.
This advice is so BS and I'm sick of seeing it. It is not a valid defense of an open source app or a rebuttal to anything I said.
