Here is a real life example by Stefano Masini;
this post is about refactoring/rewriting code in order to get self explaining code.
The example talk about dichotomic search on dynamic resizing of ui frame.
If we could make the code so speaking that understanding is made trivial, maybe we would stop rewriting the algorithm, thus saving time and brain power. We might even get some code that can actually be extended to handle further corner cases, where each extending implementation would have a natural place to go.
You’d better read it!
