  Ernest Hemingway was paid by the word, which shows in his work. I imagine this pay structure would have a similar effect on how people code.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that saying was for Dickens? Wasn’t Hemingway famously terse?

    I’m not a coder, but wanting code that isn’t streamlined seems like a bad plan to me.

    2. Deleting a massive amount of code after refactoring for a while
