Solution - “dumb down”?

• “So may be my question is should really be turned onto management, the developers they hire, appoint to projects and training courses they use. But, most manages (well those I have encountered) gave up programming when they got the keys to the company car. If I actually asked them what I should write, I think I would be told to write low-church C++, but this would take me longer (more code would need to be written and more testing) and I do think it would be less maintainable in the long run. But without two individuals writing the same project in low and high C++ how can we quantify this?”

• “We could “dumb down” our code, make it really simple. Trouble is, we have real problems and we need real solutions. To tackle the same problem with “low Church code” just moves the complexity from the context to an overly verbose code base.”
