Spaghetti? Or just Big?

Here's a thoughtful article about why spaghetti code is harmful (it's too hard to understand all at once) but pointing out that spaghetti is only one way that code can become humanly impossible.  Big Code is the underlying problem: code that has gone beyond some threshold complexity that is maintainable.

It makes you want to get back to work on AI.

• Carmack likes it.
• Microsoft has /analyze in their IDE.
• Clang does it.
• CPPcheck is good for C++, apparently.
