Please do not attempt to simplify this code
The comment:code ratio is higher than anything I write or that I’ve seen.<p>However, it does give me some comfort. When it’s not gamed, do other HNers also feel that a high comment:code ratio probably indicates quality?<p>There are reasons why this may be the case. (More thought, more time and a large team etc)<p>I don’t advocate using this measure to reward anyone because it would be gamed immediately.
