The best code is poetry

Morning all!
Hope the weekend is treating you well so far.
As some of you may know I work in the IT industry and always find it fascinating when my poetry and technology worlds collide, which is admittedly very rare.
Today’s quote though is one such collision where the head of Microsoft has a deep and very true message about prose and poetry; see what you think-
“You’re trying to take something that can be described in many, many sentences and pages of prose, but you can convert it into a couple lines of poetry and you still get the essence, so it’s that compression. The best code is poetry.”
