"As a younger programmer, I prided myself in the number of lines of
 code I wrote. As an older programmer, I pride myself in the number
 of lines of code that I reduce."

There is a certain intersection of the two geometries of your life,
where elegance and cleverness overlap simplicity and comprehensibility.
Or so I believe, and strive for.
