Good Code Reads Like a Story

A good code should read like a story, not like a puzzle.

A presentation slide in a dark auditorium displays the quote “A good code should read like a story, not like a puzzle,” while an audience watches a speaker on stage. The joke is a humorous programming observation: confusing code feels like solving a puzzle, while well-written code is easy to follow like a story. It can be sent as a reaction to messy, overly complex, or unreadable source code.
