Personally, the more that code reads like prose, the higher quality it is. High quality code tells you the story about the business solution that it is implementing.

My favorite code is that which reveals to me something about the business that I did not previously know. Plus, like businesses, it’s written in a way to accommodate the future only when the future arrives.
