Yes reader, you read that correctly, that is a criticism.
Another criticism from you? Meh...

So run it through AStyle then...

I grew up programming in MACHINE LANGUAGE, with front panel switches and neon lights. We did not need to wait a day for the keypunch ladys to punch our cards (or wait for them to go home so we could punch our own cards).

Although my code is condensed, it is NOT obfuscated. I write it for myself, and I need to see as much code as I can to absorb its patterns without cumbersome scrolling. Mousing breaks the coding trance.

For clients, I just feed it through AStyle to reformat it to their choice of style before delivery.

I can post counterexamples of what I consider to be the most valuable code from others, and it is also coded in a very condensed style. I am not alone. You are welcome to your own opinions, and I am welcome to mine.

EDIT: As I pointed out before, there is a HUGE readership that only reads "above the fold" content. I do the same for web page layout. Fit all the important stuff "above the fold". You can write fluffy popcorn code all you want, and I will write solid condensed code all I want.

And just why should I run MY code through a source code formatter for you, when I do not know which of dozens of popular formats will make you happy (if any)? You can do that yourself.

Have you even EXPERIENCED a coding trance?

Now, which of YOUR personal pieces of self-written code would you like to show us as representative of YOUR "vastly superior" coding style?
