> come after you will take years to make even the simplest changes.
> Further, if you follow all these rules religiously, you will even
> guarantee yourself a lifetime of employment, since no one but you has
> a hope in hell of maintaining the code. Then again, if you followed
> all these rules religiously, even you wouldn't be able to maintain
> the code!

> You don't want to overdo this. Your code should not look hopelessly
> unmaintainable, just be that way. Otherwise it stands the risk of
> being rewritten or refactored.
