That document describes my programming style.

What the document says is mostly out of date. I hadn’t even used Perl or Lisp to any great extent at that time. But, here is the thing…. It doesn’t matter.

Writing the document was an important exercise. Looking at some of my Objective C code, I think it may be time to repeat the exercise. For months after writing that document, I named my variables better, I named my functions better, and I wrote more maintainable code.

So, what is your coding style?
