Are you concerned about the aesthetics of your code? [closed]

Question

I don't know if I'm the only person in the world which gets a bad feeling in my stomach if my code isn't "pretty". For example if I get a assignment that another person has been doing before me. I can't help it to clean the code and make it look "pretty". I don't know if it's some kind of OCD.

It's like I see the code as some kind of art that has be perfect in my own code convention to look good. I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to explain here.

But are you like me, trying always to make my code look good in a aesthetical point of view even though it won't make the code better?

Answer 1

Yes, I care about code aesthetics.. Code that is aestheticly pleasing is easy to read and therefore easy to understand.

Answer 2

No, I stopped trying anymore. You can't defeat an army of code monkeys.

Only with my personal project I'm aspired to make it perfect.
