Lightbulb Programming is more difficult to read than to compose.

I think that's why we use comments describing what the program does. What do you think from your own expierience? I find that I compose more easily than reading.

Yeah, it's easier to understand what yourself is thinking compared to what someone else has previously thought.

But good comments make the most complicated code a cinch to understand.
