The Aesthetic of Programming

The speaker in this video notes that experienced coders can sometimes tell bad code on sight, not from any aspect of its inherent functionality, but from largely aesthetic characteristics. He also recognizes that writing code is often like writing good literature, if we want it to be understandable and useful. This video is a very interesting step from the philosophical to the practical.
