RE: Indicator Coding Technique

<snip>
Now for my opinion on the technique I described:  If you haven't already
guessed, I hate it.  I agree with all the reasons given.  Many were the
same
points I made.  I agree that we should strive to make our code as
readable
as possible.  The argument that I am up against is: "If this is our
standard
and we teach it to all our staff and consultants, then everyone will
understand it and it won't matter".  Personally, I want my code to be
read
by any programmer walking in the door, without having to teach him our
"technique".

My Dilbert Silly Slammer has two phrases that seem like a good response
to that argument: "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" and "Get
out of my cubicle!".
