It's a shame that you don't think other programmers can write good code.
It's not that. Outcome of someone's code is a result of their motivation. Their motivation comes from their need. Their need may not be relevent to mine. You said it yourself: "they tend to make code longer." They tend to look at increasing processor speed and ram size and ignore 'performance' factors. Even my teacher is like "should use the Integer object in java instead of its primitive version." Thats right...he said "primitive" version. I dont see how they can keep going like this. Processor speeds seem to have stablized around 3.something ghz and now they are going for multi cores. Whats next? Hardware operating system? I reckon things are going in all the wrong directions. Anyways...my point is...they dont die if their stuff is slow.
