Is writing code trully easier than reading it?

Writing code is easy, writing readable code is hard.

Reading code is easy, reading shit code is hard.

🤷‍♂️

I got no evidence but no doubt about it.

Depends on code quality and experience of the reader/writer

Reminds me of Malbolge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Writing code is not necessarily easier or harder than reading it; both can be difficult depending on the person and the situation. Some people find it easier to read and understand code that has been well-written and organized, while others may struggle with reading code that is complex or poorly written. Ultimately, whether writing or reading code is easier for a particular person will depend on their level of experience and familiarity with the programming language being used.

Good point actually.

Most code took way longer to write than to read.

But usually it's read more times than its modified.

@C0D4 dude, I want that tattooed on the back of my boss's hand. Maybe he will remember it then.
