ALL code is ugly. Yours, mine, everyone's. Code Is Ugly. Just face it. When someone says "beautiful code", hear "beautiful rotten entrails". The only beautiful code, the most clean code, is no code at all. If it's there, it's ugly. The unfortunate fact of software development is that, in order to create beautiful software, we must use ugly code.

The best we can do is make sure that there's as little code as absolutely necessary, and that it is as reliable and easy to interpret as possible. Conventions must be judged based on these standards. Anything that obscures the intent of the software is by definition "unclean", and every line of code is "ugly".

Well said.
