I did play with some haiku drafts but those are so tough to write.<BR/><BR/>Btw, I should mention that Steve Y has a post (Jan 08) discussing the length of his 'essays'.

Brief code doesn't necessarily mean concise. A more verbose language prevents brief cryptic code, but frustrates experienced developers that know how to be concise in the given language.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151512717871227421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427069094580312550.post-47793116977104555152008-02-14T20:13:00.000-08:002008-02-14T20:13:00.000-08:00Thanks, all...
