  I'm one of those programmers. I have a real hard time following (the
often convoluted) code of other programmers. Given enough time and an
understanding of the syntax of the language (for instance, Perl *still*
looks like line noise to me) I can fathom what a piece of code is attempting
to do.

  I also find it easier to follow assembly code; the higher the code the
harder I find it is to follow for some reason.
