If the code can&#x27;t be read, then it really doesn&#x27;t matter how it runs because no one will understand it well.   Trust me.  Some of the code I work with has this problem.  I fix it when I can, but there&#x27;s just too much to fix it all.<p>The only code where readability isn&#x27;t as important as functionality is finished code, and we all know that code is never finished.
